#2While I really like what they're doing design-wise in ubuntu, the second screenshot makes me kind of sad. I really think they should strive for less administration applications, instead of adding more.

#3For as much complaints that people had for this x button being on the wrong side, I have to say that I am really impressed with the growth between these two releases.
I understand where Ubuntu was when it came up with the brown design, but they hit a cord with the linux community and realized that they outgrew what they originally set out to do. I think the design shown in 10.04 really shows that understanding.

#4As a huge fan of Linux, I have to say the modern Apple and Microsoft operating systems look significantly better.

It's a growing process. The point is that it looks better than it did.

All the ones showing are the ones that show up in a default 9.04. The 9.04 example, for some reason, has hidden a few.

Agreed, I personally moved the window controls back, but otherwise 10.04 is a huge step forward.

As someone using all 3 OS's day to day (Ubuntu is my primary development OS, I have an iMac next to me, and I switch my laptop to Windows 7 for video games in the evenings), Windows 7 is easily my least favorite OS, it's performance is generally crummy compared to OSX and Ubuntu, and it's UI often aggravating.
