Wow this is one of the cleanest demos of any product i've seen, hats off to the web guys on this they did an amazing job. I only use ubuntu on my servers but this definitely is enticing.

Did anyone else notice that the webbrowser in the tour works? You can enter new urls, click around - even form submission works.

You can even enter http://www.ubuntu.com/tour/#surf-the-web in the browser found on http://www.ubuntu.com/tour/#surf-the-web!

Initially I though that they're using Broadway, the GTK3's HTML5 canvas backend [1]. But no, it's all done with CSS3. That's impressive.

The tour doesn't really fit on my 1366x768 screen (running Firefox 7). Not a good first impression.

The tour fits beautifully on my iPad's Safari. Do you just have a ton of tool bars?

Figures there would be a gripe about an OPERATING SYSTEM demo in a WEB BROWSER. Shame on them.

Install Ubuntu. Let that be your first impression. I'm sure it will fit your screen.

I almost orgasmed when I saw open office load.

Try opening the Dash (top icon on the left) and you can browse apps. That's a really cool demo! Edit: You can also read and write (but not send) emails in Thunderbird, and emails you write show up in the "Sent" box.

I'd suggest adding a possibility to play the first level of World of Goo after installing it. That would make it simply amazing.

Awesome demo. Best things are the Office and Apps :)
