I decided to do away with Ubuntu 10.10 on my Acer Aspire AO-532H Netbook and re-install the Ubuntu LTS 10.04. The main reason is because of Unity. There is no way to configure the darn thing, and it takes up way too much desktop space. There should at least be an Auto-hide feature, but even that is lacking. Mark Shuttleworth has said that Autohide for Unity may be coming for Ubuntu 11.04, but for now this version of Ubuntu Netbook Remix is painful to use. Windows 7 Starter has a better desktop layout.
It is scary to think that Unity is going to run on Ubuntu Desktop when 11.04 is released. Touch screen devices will dominate the market at some point, and someday Unity will be the goto choice to run on a desktop. It's just that someday has not arrived for me yet.
