Why I hate the Unity desktop
Don't get me wrong, it's bvetter and more functional than a couple of other desktops I've tried, but it's far from an everyday arrangement in my mind.
And I'm not alone apparently, Nathan Lineback of http://toastytech.com agrees with me and then some, and I bet this is one of the reasons people are switching to Linux Mint, Kubuntu, and other versions of Linux.
BTW, as a little plug, please stop by my GUI gallery ( http://firealarms.redbat.ca/guicentral/ ) and leave comments on it in the video.
IBM Thinkpad review will be coming up soon, and I am planning on having a huge purging of computer equipment I have here at some point.
