This one, I wondered why Ubuntu comes without firewall preinstalled but then somebody told me: If there is - by default - no service providing services there is no vulnerable point. So the security problem is solved at it's root (which I like in general: solving problems at their root). On Windows there are a plenty of vulnerable points on a default install. But instead of closing down those, Windows enables the firewall by default (you may not see the sense - as in both situations the services cannot be used from outside ;-) ). > * A Unity configurator like MyUnity should be preinstalled. > * A short ubuntu desktop video should be included on how to use Ubuntu and > unity or something like the Ubuntu tour.

Let me add three things: * A few more quick-access hotkeys or mouse activity (e.g. One of my first things is to add in Compiz desktop switch (left or right) using left or right mouse buttons on upper or lower screen edge. * Sub-Launchers - the left edge is simply far too small for all my often needed icons. There is no room left and all the time scrolling down is annoying. Optionally at least allow smaller icons than 32x32. * There should a traditional Gnome menu button (optionally if you want) be added to the launcher for those who want to strive through everything that is installed. There are many reasons for why users may want that (e.g. striving through the menu a support guy gets a good overview on what the user has installed - or - a user wants to use the first video editor that is already available without seeing all the stuff that is available, but probably not installed) in a categorized way. Some people simply think in categories and menus (maybe because of the file structures that they are used to - I am working in DMS and ECM field and it's simply hard to get people stop that category and file system thinking). And basically it doesn't hurt anybody having both options to find stuff.

This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix. Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry. Steps to repeat: 1. Visit a local PC store. What happens: 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed. 3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed. What should happen: 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu. 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all. 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.
