I am a power user and I've made the switch to Unity quite successfully.
I can't say I love it, but I don't hate it. And if you give a new user a unity desktop to play with, they usually love it. (I have installed it on a few friends computers).
Linux has to differentiate itself from the rest of the OS's, and unity is a bold new direction that just might catch on. I agree with the guy who says <ctrl><alt><T> get's a terminal, what else do you want?
iThingees are not the only innovative products.. Maybe nokia should sue apple for front facing cameras. I'm sure they're not the first touch screen device as well.

I've had a Blackberry & and Android phone and have many friends with IPhones. All of these devices have remote install and remove capabilities, the network carriers would not allow them on their networks if they didn't.
What people fail to realize is that it may be their device, but it isn't their network, and the terms of service for the network clearly state that the vendors have the right to do this. This makes total sense in the ways of protecting the mobile networks from the kind of crap we have to deal with on the PC side, where network anarchy is the rule of thumb.
If you don't want remote install or remove then don't connect your phone to a network!
