Personally I think Unity is fairly awful on the desktop, but - let's face it - the future of computing is not the desktop it's mobile devices, tablets etc. etc.
Ubuntu is positioning itself so that when the next generation of machines come around it'll be right up there with Windows etc. - if Ubuntu is seen as "the norm" in 5 years then the decision will have been correct. In the meantime, fair play to Canonical etc. in being brave and not sticking to "what we knew" in order to appease us metaphorical "old fogies set in their ways"... Sean
