The reviews I've read all say that Unity is interesting, but still too beta for release in a stable product, so people using Ubuntu in production environments should stick with the previous version and wait for Unity to become stable.
A bit unfair, Canonical does invest a lot in development, and SUSE has or had a big team which worked on the Kernel as well, a great bunch of guys as I worked closely with them on 10.0 and 10.1.
+1 for that, SUSE has offered that since 2003, although I think the last version didn't offer it.
I sort of agree. They should aim for 6 monthly release, but if there are show stopper bugs, they should feel free to delay it a few weeks, until they are solved. It seems to work for SUSE, they aim for a 6 monthly cycle, but are man enough to say when it isn't ripe and that they will hold the release back a few days.
They learnt their lesson with 10.0, although the latest release seems to have also escaped a bit early...
That is a disgrace. As they are not using Gnome, I can understand them wanting to keep some of the revenue, but as the app is developed as part of Gnome, the money should go to Gnome and Canonical should get money back based on their input to the Banshee code base.
This is a legal issue and they can't do it. It is illegal to use libdvdcss or include a way to automatically add the repository. Having a short description of the legal issue and a link to the repository on the FAQ would probably solve the issue. But XP users (and Vista Basic / Business) users will be familiar with this issue anyway, as only the Media Center version of XP, Vista Home were able to play DVDs out of the box - all Windows 7 versions, apart from Starter, can play videos, but that is a big step forward from Microsoft.
That said, most XP users probably got some DVD software bundled with the DVD drive in their PC.
Agreed, plus we use Linux mainly on virtual machines, or aging hardware with on-board Intel graphics from the last century, so no 3D or acceleration is available, which means that Gnome 3 and Unity pretty much don't work.
, otherwise it seemed pretty good, if a little hard to find your way around as a n0ob...
