There are several large, glaring, problems with the global menu as I see it:
Menu's are outdated. It's clear from the last few years that menus as we
know it are playing a more diminished role. Large amounts of applications
simply don't use them as they are largely a crutch for poor UI design.

Actually you can stick the windows bar on the left and get pretty much the
same effect as unity. Looking at my colleagues W7 machine (I have a Mac)
running Firefox 4, maximized it has tabs-on-top with no menu. You can do
dock-on-the-left with OSX too.

It might be an interesting idea to highlight the current selection in
alt-tab by a similar effect that is currently shown when pressing alt-F1.
The window(s) corresponding to the application would then be shown on the
right hand side of the launcher, with the launcher being permanently
visible.
What about using Alt+Tab to call up the Window preview (Copy Super+W).
Continuing to press the key combo would highlight the next/previous window
in the sequence, and when you let go of Alt, it goes to the currently
highlighted window?

Hi guys/gals. My name is Melvin Garcia, and I'm new to the list.
I was comparing Mac's Quartz and Windows' Aero animations to Ubuntu's
default animation settings and noticed a few things. First of all Ubuntu's
