Hello Ubuntu Desktop Mailing List,

I'm an early adopter. Ubuntu Software Store gets updates oftenly, but 
it's not shiny new features, it's just bug fixes, so I wait and wait and 
wait, but Ubuntu Software Store doesn't change.

Ubuntu must:

1. update fast
Are you using the C++ that Linus Torvalds flamed?

2. update like web apps
Web apps update so amazingly... Chrome is a desktop app that went the 
web app way... Firefox followed Chrome, because Chrome was right... Can 
Ubuntu go that way too?

3. if an update is impopular, do not keep me stuck with a bad feature 
for 6 months
Ubuntu kept me stuck with the global menu for 1 year.
An update from the Update Manager should have removed the global menu.

4, update to give early adopters shiny new features from the Update manager
Currently, I have to complain verbally, not clickably.
Google ships a feature to a user sample, then if the feature is popular 
with the user sample, they ship the feature to all other users or if the 
feature is impopular with the user sample, Google removes the feature 
from the user sample.
early Ubuntu adopter group opt-in, what's new, rate, review and Ubuntu 
Brainstorm link
I heard giving instant feedback to programmers is a major Stack Overflow 
feature somewhere there. Programmers would be able to ship a feature to 
everyone in only two days.

Best regards,
Pedro Bessa
