People need to learn how to use tools. But, it's the other reason i champion the use of deluge. It's an easy to configure bittorrent client. I tell people to enable encryption all the way in deluge, and it's not hard to figure out. Plus i like the way it handles dht similarly to bitcomet (bitcomet's awesome because it handles dht clients as though it were another tracker to the point that you can get your torrent started and finished with nothing but dht in the mean time while you told bitcomet not to get any data from clients on the tracker).

Uh, what happened to the default Ubuntu theme? Isn't Ubuntu supposed to be... well... brown? So what's with all the purple? And they switched the location of the Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons.

So have we reached the argument between people who like it and people who don't and want to stay with Windows or whatever? Cause I want to make sure I don't miss it.

It's just like every other version of ubuntu that's ever come out. Except more stable and less bug ridden.
I'm glad they got rid of the brown theme. The dark gray and purple really works better.

For the buttons in the wrong place...deal with it or put them back, google how to put them back, it's pretty easy.

I know how to put them back (though I'm not going to bother, I rarely use Ubuntu anyway). I remember I even did some (very basic) tests with themes in gnome and metacity, while I was trying to implement an FS1ish style to my desktop (sorry, deleted most of the material long ago, maybe I still have some svgs of the icons in case you're curious).

I'm just puzzled as to why they took this decision. That's all. There are no hidden intentions in my post.

EDIT: No, I deleted everything. It wasn't much to begin with, just a background with a grid in perspective, similar to the one in the briefings, for the wallpaper, and some icons of folders and other miscellaneous icons with the original FS1 style, the home folder had that little thing inside it that used to be inside the icon of alpha wing in some briefings, and other things like that. I only did some of the graphics and never got to actually implement it.

They've given a number of different reasons, essentially boiling down to two points: They like the Mac-OS placement better, and they're building towards a seriously different gdm theme paradigm for 10.10, which will apparently be more OSXlike, with a dock and such.

That's really funny. I guess canononicals ceo wasn't joking a couple of years ago about the osx crap Oh well, i don't mind the button placement either, and the default colors are much better.

It works on my laptop now! Like previous versions of ubuntu had a minor problem : i.e. the operating system never felt like running the fan for my GPU and I could just watch the core temp climb. 10.04 actually tells my hardware to use cooling

Methinks you didn't check to see if you even had 3d acceleration on your last ubuntu installs. Having the framebuffer universal driver going will keep your 3d card's fan spinning at max all the time and have the cpu doing video.
