Natty Narwhal with Unity: Worst Ubuntu beta ever

Dylan McCall

Out of date…

“...choose "Keep in Launcher." Yes, it's not that hard, but it's also three steps more complicated than every other OS on the market.”

I think that sums up what is wrong with your article. You claim to be reviewing the beta, but this issue has been fixed for a good while now. Please understand that Unity is _continually_ being improved; if something bit you two weeks ago and you are writing a review now, check if it's still there, because there's a good chance it isn't :)

In addition, your screenshot is not of the Unity that is being shipped in the beta. (I don't feel like checking, but I think that's an earlier Unity 2d…). It highlights a rather charming issue with ellipses that has since been resolved.

This isn't to say I think Ubuntu does no wrong, (and there are definitely many aspects of Unity that make me shudder), but it would be much more useful for everyone if your article was factually accurate.
