Hello David and Barry
I'd just say 'give it a try' as well. Unity is actually pretty good with
a keyboard as well. If you have a screen that is 768px or more high then
try pressing and holding the Super/Windows key to see the keyboard
shortcuts.
In the Ubuntu 11.10 release, it took me about a week of normal use
before Unity 'disappeared' into the background like a good interface should.
Cheers

Now without getting drawn in to a huge debate about Unity, I'm going
to see how to disable it tomorrow and have something resembling
10.10. But I want to add my two cents. You wouldn't use a smartcar
to plough a field, You wouldn't use a tractor for city-driving.
What works on a touchscreen portable device does not work on a
desktop. Is the Windows 8 Metro UI going to divide MS users as much
as Unity has divided Ubuntu users?
Could I ask you please to live with it for at least a few days.
Everyone reacts like you if they are used to the gnome desktop, but
once you are used to it, you'll more than likely want to stay with
it. And yes, the Windows 8 UI is going to go down far worse that
Unity because it is designed only for touchscreens. Unity is great
with a mouse as well.
Regards, Barry.
