Read in the news that there is planned to use unity in future Ubuntu
versions as main desktop.

I did not tried myself but heard and read of _many_ people that this
is still really buggy.

I do personally fully understand, that Ubuntu needs to keep up with
innovation and there is the desire to deliver a very easy to use OS -
even for the newcomer.

But:

1. I find the Gnome desktop already very clean and easy to use - even
for the newcomer (I switched >60 year old people without the need of
any more support after 2 weeks - this is basically the time a person
needs to destroy a Windows installation by virus or any other stuff
installed - at least my experience).

2. Today turned on Maverick and after login found 3 new bugs. And
there are still some older ones I am still waiting for a fix - for
Lucid and for Maverick also - annoying bugs.

So the point is: After 9.04 and 9.10 (those really worked in an
awesome stable way) my experiences with 10.04 and 10.10 are getting
worse. So please, please, focus more on bug fixing than on introducing
new user ui, which already is really good!

Bug description:
Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace.
This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.

Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

Steps to repeat:

1. Visit a local PC store.

What happens:
2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed.
3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed.

What should happen:
1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu.
2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all.
3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.
