“There has been a lot of discussion lately about Ubuntu’s
decision to make their Unity desktop the standard for their next
release, not only in the Netbook Edition but also in the base
release. As a good friend used to say, most of that discussion has
produced more heat than light, so I am going to try to shed some
light on the situation by comparing several of the latest Netbook
desktops. It is not my intention to extend this comparison to
general desktops at this time, although that might change.“First up is the Ubuntu Netbook Edition with the latest Unity
desktop. I have posted screen shots of this desktop before, but I
will include another here for reference and discussion
purposes.”
