I've been working in unity since the beta came out and I can say that so far I'm still not liking it at all. I'm trying to give it a fair shake and see if it grows on me but so far it just annoys me. It is very much like the Mac type of UI which I also hate, if you like the Mac UI then you may like it. As I sit here and look at it again I think it is time to go back to Window Maker, it has been some time since I last used it having spent the last few years in Gnome and/or KDE but I just remember I was much happier with my UI back then :) --j On Thu, Apr 21, 2011 at 4:20 PM, Mr. B-o-B <mr.chew.baka at gmail.com> wrote: > r j cried from the depths of the abyss... > > > Another version of Ubuntu rolls out of the gates.
