This seems like a lot of effort for something that will be unnecessary and unused in a month. I mean, it's cool, but they already have infrastructure for "demoing" remote apps, they could have demo remote instances with websocketed/vnc (noVNC, very cool).

I imagine that, if they want to do this for Pangolin, it will be of use again.

An OEM laptop with 8 hours of battery life please

Not really OEM, but I'm running 11.04 on an Acer 3810T laptop. I am getting 6 hours on it with wi-fi, and the battery has lost about 10% of its charge capacity. With a brand new battery I could see it getting about 7-7.5 hours.

An OEM with a newer processor and an SSD should be able to hit 8 hours easily.

It got people effortlessly demoing the OS's UI, I think it's spot on.

Does Ubuntu One still suck?

I haven't had issues for a long time. It's a lot more integrated with the desktop than it was at first realease.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That surprises me a little; I would think that plain Debian would be better for server use.

I would never use plain debian. security updates, support, broader user base, just to start. And Juju. Juju is going to be huge. https://juju.ubuntu.com/

"What is juju?"

"Formerly called Ensemble, juju is DevOps DistilledTM. Through the use of charms (renamed from formulas), juju provides you with shareable, re-usable, and repeatable expressions of DevOps best practices. You can use them unmodified, or easily change and connect them to fit your needs. Deploying a charm is similar to installing a package on Ubuntu: ask for it and it’s there, remove it and it’s completely gone."

I have no idea what juju is.
