i love new ubuntu desktop. brilliant..

Consider writing more details about your success and enjoyment.

As you've no doubt read, there is much discussion about various desktop environments. Many of the features and packages are very new. I suspect some of the angst stems from a lack of familiarity. Someone else might find your writings just the key to some trouble they have.

He says using Windows 7 machine to post on.

What do you like about it?
Is there anything you would change?
Is it better, for you, than Windows 7?

Maybe he was being sarcastic. I found the new Ubuntu desktop practically useless.

What I find useless is any software -- especially a desktop environment -- without useful documentation. Further, to invent a new D/E without clear and simple end-user configuration and administrator configuration is simply stupid.

A workstation desktop like a pen & paper desktop is meant to help the end-user accomplish things. Home many of us would work at a desk where stuff want placed there and we could not make adjustments or replace things with items we need or find more useful that what some higher power thought we needed.

then there is whole issue of backward compatibility and ease of forward migration

Same here. My bulky Windows 7 on Virtualbox boots alot faster than Ubuntu on my hard drive. I ended up throwing the Ubuntu live cd out the window.
