Rumour after rumour and story after story talk of Google wanting a piece of the netbook pie, the only pie in the computer hardware business that still tastes any good. They are supposed to bring Android, the phone operating system based on Linux and a modified version of Java, to netbooks in order to compete with Windows. Analysts are torn about whether or not Android would have a chance.

I agree with you in everything. Except that Windows is popular for point and click. Windows is popular because Microsoft has monopolized the market.
Now back to the GUI stuff. Yes, we need GUI for every configuration possible, like a "control center" or instead of control center, add options to the "System" menu on the panel. That replaces the need for "Control Panels"
Right now the "System Tab" is bloated with a lot of options the Ubuntu team should work on trimming the menus, merging similar things. Example: Instead of having an option for keyboard and another for mouse, there should be only one keyboard and mouse option. By grouping similar stuff together the menus would be much more smaller and leaves more space for new options.
