Ubuntu's Unity in 11.04 - Not All That Bad

[ Thanks to Barnaby for this link. ]

"With all the upheaval around Unity and Gnome Shell and not having used Ubuntu since 'Breezy Badger' (that was 5.10) I thought I take a fresh look at the upcoming version and the new desktop. Well, it's not that bad, and at least to me seems more accessible than the new Gnome because it works in a more traditional manner.

"Also, Unity actually got up and running where Gnome 3 via the Fedora live CD just dropped me into fallback mode every time, with barely functional panels and no right click shell menu. I can only assess Gnome Shell from what I've seen in desktop recordings, but Unity for me has already won here."
