And your point is "to attrack more users, Ubuntu will have to look like
Windows", cause, they are familiar with start button,
Applications/Places/System buttons will scare them? Or clock in top
right corner is OMG, it should be in lower right. Or, umounting USB
device should be in lower right conrner, not on the device icon (this is
very stoopid Windows UI detail)?

People are thinking in a wrong way (start -> shut down, usb devices
umounting, text is wrong), so we should go with the flow? If they are
scared of text, they should really reconsider meaning of life. People
communicate via words, written words. Maybe I'm wrong, but wouldn't you
expect computers would be designed to communicate with you in the same,
natrual way for humans?

You see, lots of people that use Windows are scared when you rearange
icons on desktop or unmaximize window. Should we contiune that MS/Apple
brainwash or change this scary way of thinking?
