Maybe you are thinking more of the 'big picture' than I am. I found unity to
not to be my liking so use classic instead. Just because a feature is
released in one version of a distro doesnt automatically make it the
standard though.

Easy.
 Cause Ubuntu has swept the Linux world, and become a major player.
Does one have to swim against the current always?

Why do you think Mark Shuttleworth said in an interview at:

http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2011-05-10-005-39-NW-AP

that Ubuntu have the goal of 200 m users? Why would the director/owner of a
company
have such a huge goal? Clearly - he is no "starry eyed" fool. Fools like
that never make it
to the head of a major company. So then, "What was he thinking of?"....

My view is that a contributing factor is the presence of a reasonable UI -
so we better get
used to it and see how it works...

Cheers,
 Derek.
