I'm posting this from inside Unity... Few things...
the new interface is extremely Mac OSX like... each app changes the menu bar on top like a Mac... there's no "Start" or "Menu" type button just like the video it's a search and then there's the bar on the side. Minimize and Maximize are still there, so no worries there. Overall not too bad... we'll see if that bar on the side gets annoying after a while. I'm running this from a USB stick on my laptop with ATI card since NVidia requires proprietary drivers. -DK On Thu, Mar 10, 2011 at 8:44 PM, Dino K <socalli...@cloudcomp.info> wrote: > well blah, can't use the new interface without hardware acceleration so > uses regular ole Gnome in a VM... will make a USB stick and try.. > > > On Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 7:08 PM, Dino K <socalli...@cloudcomp.info> wrote: > >> I'm downloading it now... will run Alpha 3 in a VM and let you know my >> thoughts... >> >> >> On Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 5:35 PM, Peter Manis <peter.ma...@gmail.com>wrote: >> >>> Looks good.
