I agree, compiz is way better than this. I don't generally use multi-desktops but I have cube enable just in a case. this looks black, boxy, and not-configurable at all. I also think that there really aren't any new or original Ideas here, just some "improvements." i.e. made it "easier" to change number of desktops (compiz). made it "easier" to search for applications (gnome-do). Moved the menu (Gnome.) Moved the clock and taskbar buttons (Gnome)

What is the name of the editor/IDE that you are using in those screenshots (with a "B" icon")?

Great post!

You do know that having HTML 5 (Flash free version) followed by <embed src="http://openvideo.dailymotio..." type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="339" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed> doesn't really actually make it either HTML 5 or flash free right?

This looks great, I can't wait until it ships default with some linux distro!

//I agree. Can we please stop imitating crap Microsoft products please and get our own desktop//
It looks nothing like either Windows or Mac OS X, which I couldn't be happier about. I really don't like the new Mac OS X-lookalike theme for 10.04's gnome2, though. If ubuntu uses gnome-shell by default and themes it well, we will finally have a linux distro with its own unique, beautiful look, to compete with the commercial OS's.

It looks good, but i term of usability i think that it goes one step back.. by every click everything moves, nothing stays focused.. if you do many things at once it seems to me that it will make you dizzy.. hope they prove me wrong.. i like Gnome but, as you said, it needs something fresh.. can't wait to give it a try..! Though it's a bummer that compiz won't work!

Yeah. It still looks like crap. 'Oh, Linux. That's that stupid unusable system for 'hax00rz' and script-kiddies'.

God bless Snow Leopard.

i think part of the reason why there is a clear and unfortunate mimicking of MS OS is because thats what people are used to! if it looks too different from the MS they are used to they wont want to migrate. Remember, that most people have not got a clue about computers.... at all, and are still very insecure with using them. If its too different, then they wont migrate out of fear.

What is a real shame is that people will think that linux is copying MS, which is actually the complete opposite, MS are the most unoriginal company out there (I'm a PC!!!!!!!).

Let's hope that gnome 3 can be somewhat original, Compiz and multiple desktops will not suffice, it needs to be really clever, quick and light.

I totally agree. I use mostly Macs, and I would love to see something based on a DOCK (Cairo Dock 2.1 rocks!!!) and not a START BAR. KDE4 over-copied the start bar concept and is like a Vista wanna-be. For those of us that like the Mac way, there should be a desktop fork for those of us, that like a dock and not cascading start menus to find applications. Apple doesn't use this method. In 2010 we should have more Tivo-like menus and things that look futuristic, a future desktop should look cool, not a bunch of menus. pulldown cascading menus suck to navigate with the mouse too.

One of the things I love about Gnome is that I can customise it in more ways than I can any other DE that I have used (at least in ways that I like). It will be a shame to lose some of the functionality of compiz if I want to use the gnome shell. The new shell (although it looks nice and has some good components) appears to be far more cumbersome than the ease of compiz windows management.

Gnome 2 is incredible easy to use and Gnome 3 will have better visual, but KDE 4.4 will be the most beautiful and incredible desktop to use on Linux.

It's just a shell that can be installed by the user. It's not the default desktop manager that comes with Windows. It's not a Microsoft's standard feature.

What exactly so you mean by "desktop revolution"? If you mean the GUI environment, it was firstly introduced by Apple.
In my view, the real desktop revolution was the introduction of Free and Open Source Software. There is nothing to be compared a commercial program (or an Operating System) that belongs to a company and it's code is only known to this company's Engineers, with an OS that belongs to the public, and everyone can help it's development.
Also, Microsoft was the one that copied to Windows whatever "revolutionary" feature was introduced by Linux or MacOS in the first place.

Um... I'm wondering if I should just flag you or.... I mean COME ON! The point of Linux/Ubuntu is to share and have HUMANITY towards others, hints the name ubuntu, you sir, are part of the problem when it comes to computing :(

How about instead of writing malicious code and or viruses, how about you help to fix some of the obvious problems in Ubuntu. Windows, Ubuntu and Leopard all have there ups and downs. So stop saying windows got everything from Linux, It was Windows that started desktop revolution in the first place. (even though im not a fan of windows)

idk, it seems bit overkill to me, so of the features just don't seem that attractive or useful. I saw another demo online of something claiming to be gnome 3, but that one didn't seem to have a stationary menu, but rather a gesture launch one anywhere on the desktop, that seemed kind of handy, but this just seems a little overkill. A big plus sign in the bottom corner of the screen allows you to add more workspaces, and a big minus dign allows you to get rid of workspaces... Right now I'm using one workspace for web browsing, occasionally I start a project and I may use up to four workspaces, therefore I set compiz to 4 desktops, all of the other desktops aren't visible until I drag a window into one of the or press a switch key, I don't need to "Add More" or "Reduce" or have extremely large icons which allow me to do so. The thing that really interests me is the new method of file management, now that seems really original and not so windowsy, but still I like organizing my stuff into folders, which seems more user specific. This just seems like auto-organization gone wild.

Finally someone is brave enough to change the way we interface with a PC in a drastic way. In a way that isn't too far off the end of the bridge but just far enough that it excites one to want to explore more!

Microsoft will copy it soon, just wait and see. Ballmer hasn't had an original thought in his entire life.

Heavy development in Gnome-shell and vast user adoption will make this truly a dominating OS, hopefully, maybe, ya think?
