Well I upgraded one laptop and one desktop from 10.04 to 10.10 and I
think its just great. Phenomenal boot up time, snappy screen
reloads, etc <br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I've upgraded my Ubuntu netbook to 10.10 and it's a massive
step down.<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://blog.canonical.com/?p=446" target="_blank">Canonical
has made a strategic decision</a> to chase not only Apple
and Microsoft, but also Google and RIM and Intel into the
realm of touch and tablets. Based on what I see on my little
Asus this is a stunningly bad decision. I only hope they don't
burn too many bridges and force too many others away in the
process of alienating their core.<br>
<br>
In making the new Ubuntu Netbook distribution touch-friendly,
they've made desktop administration and customization a
nightmare. There's pride in eliminating the taskbar at the
bottom, but it's been replaced with a bigger apps/taskbar at
the left. Documentation is sparse and they're no help icon.<br>
<br>
Microsoft found that you couldn't just simply adapt a desktop
UI to a tablet and expect it to work well. In 10.10, Ubuntu
(or more probably Canonical, seeing some revenue potential in
embedded devices) has made the opposite mistake in chosing to
switch to a tablet-focused UI, and those of us still with mice
and touchpads and sticks can fend for ourselves. Even if they
make massive strides in this system they'll be far behind the
others in this field.<br>
<br>
They have no chance of succeeding to compete with iOS or
Android or WebOS or WinMo7, certainly with this tech. I only
hope they don't completely screw over their traditional laptop
users in pursuit of tablet vendors. Meanwhile. I'll have a
serious look at the Kubuntu netbook edition and maybe -- if
desperate -- Meego.<br>
