Im going to have to go with never using Ubuntu with Unity. It limits any use or customisation of the desktop t all. If anything, it has limited its users, and restrained their choices. Unity is a fail.

I’m not sure where this comes from, as I don’t see any “…” in my article, but for the sake of completeness, the 3 dots in English punctuation is called an “ellipsis,” and here’s a web site that offers a pretty good discussion on this particular punctuation mark. http://www.nationalpunctuationday.com/ellipsis.html

“I’m the kindof typos, …” <- What does that mean?

Thanks, Beforewisdom. I’ll correct it in the article.

From Canonical’s perspective, they presented what they’d like to see in the Gnome interface to the Gnome design team, and the Gnome team ignored there input.

I’m the kind of typos, so please don’t take offense. The above should have been “ignored their input”.

Yes, that is what GNOME does. They have a frustrating “have it our way” attitude. I’m downloading 11.04 now. I may not like Unity, but I am looking forward to giving it a try because I have had to live with a number of annoyances from GNOME and with their attitude.
