@Phong Cao Viet - That's not my mock up. ^^ But I agree that it's nice and well-design.

@Matthew Paul Thomas - Thanks for�clarify�about Unity course. Personally, I don't agree that touch OS cannot play well with a pointer and believe the reason that Mac split them into two is just because of marketing reason. However, I really appreciate that you read and answer my opinion seriously. Either it was accepted or not, I'm still looking forward to the upcoming Unity.
@Conscious User &�frederik.nnaji@xxxxxxxxx - I think we have the same taste. Do you guys able to find some knowledge or team to making one ? I may not very good at programming but I know a bit of C and Python and love designing (But please don't expect much form me, I'm just a newbie here.) Let's share what we have. I had tried cairo-dock and currently try docky to make a touch interface. Without maximize windows, Moon OS theme may works for touch somehow. Although, nothing can do a lovely slide just like Unity TT TT. How about you guys ?

I'm a little bit confused now because Mark's blog post about Unity
clearly stated that some design decisions were motivated by touch
devices. Is the Unity design still taking touch into consideration
or this was completely dropped once it was decided that Desktops
would use it too?

wow.. i think i'm having a D� Vu!

Of course the iPad doesn't use a File menu, it has a touch interface.
(And hides files almost completely.) But thinking that a touch interface
will work well on a desktop machine is just as wishful as thinking the
reverse.
