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.

#35Wow 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.
That surprises me a little; I would think that plain Debian would be better for server use.
And
Juju. Juju is going to be huge. https://juju.ubuntu.com/

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
So I go to do a tour of the new Ubuntu release and I can't click the buttons to start the tour because I can't read what's written on them. What the tour is demoing doesn't come into it.
You can't empathize? You can't give them a little slack? They didn't spend enough time testing the demo of the OS on a browser for your liking? They were probably busy building an operating system. If their core competency was website building, you would have a point. But in this case you're just being pedant.

#37IMO Ubuntu is poised to make a serious dent in the desktop market share. Maybe next year is finally going to be the year of the Linux desktop :).
Yes... it'll go from 0.5% to 0.5%, just like every other year! http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/269/90181549.png

#39The tour doesn't really fit on my 1366x768 screen (running Firefox 7). Not a good first impression.
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.
