Not only window 8 has been criticized
because users were expected to accept one new interface which is not common and
is not appropriate. Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu Linux transfer
interface of the default desktop to Unity, it also caused many loyal customers
shunning.
The problems such as the bulky Metro tiles
which cannot be avoided in Windows 8, are alike oddly - an interface designed
for mobile devices has been inflated large percentage, even on the large more
consistent screen, with the type of mouse and keyboard.
Ubuntu's Unity user interface has evolved
from Ubuntu Netbook Remix, a different solution to make low-resolution screen
of the mini laptops become more useful. But Unity has grown slightly since it
became the default interface in version 11.04, to Unity 6.8 in Qauntal version
of Quetzal 12.10 this year
We have to find a dictionary to know
leaders Canonical's Mark Shuttleworth, who dreamed of this code name, alluding
to one of Trogon birds with iridescent blue multicolored plumage and the red
below.

Trade prospects
Thanks to the regular honing, Unity layout
having been made little before is attracting the attention of users. Unfortunately
Canonical has just shot himself in the leg with the new version 12.10.
Whenever you use the Unity search bar (part
of the overlay Dash appears from the top left corner of the screen) to search
for documents on your PC, your query will be sent to the retail giant. Then it
provides ambiguous results with the items in its online store.
With Amazon, victory is obvious: it's the
opportunity to advertise products to Ubuntu users, and to exploit more valuable
user data to expand the customer base. Canonical is an opportunity to earn
extra money on the deal, "kickbacks", a way to make money from free
software distribution.
With user, productivity is slowed by online
data flow waste, privacy rights have been violated by the Unity Broadcasting
topic of local search, and distract the attention caused by a thumbnail panel
containing retail items rubbish.
While 12.10 is still in beta phase before
launch, the outrage from Canonical has forced users to reverse a decision to earn
money quickly by providing one switch "off" hidden which will help
your computer life free from prying shop owners. You need to look in System
Settings, and slide the "Include online search results" button under
"When searching in the Dash".
If you leave the box checked, your Dash
queries are sent not only to the Amazon, but also to Facebook, Twitter and
BBC....
Other features
For users familiar with the technology;
there were few changes below. A new Linux kernel 3.5 leads to low-level changes
in the file system and metadata handling, but it is less obvious to most normal
users. You can also try new UEFI Secure Boot for improved security.
Significantly, graphical interface is
smoother, perhaps aided by the move to Mesa 9.0, the software library for 3D
OpenGL graphics. We have noticed UI was faster with faster action as minimizing
the window, and the transparent overlay was more convincing when Dash was
superimposed on the screen background. Even when there was no hardware graphics
acceleration, Unity 2D interface felt faster
Small interesting things including
utilities to click on the Dash led to the large preview. The particular
graphics-rich site can be set as the "webapps". When we log into
Google calendar, a small window prompt us to install Google Calendar for more
features and faster access. Then one shortcut appears in side dock Launcher,
from which we can set up calendar events faster, for example.
Other changes including the renaming Update
Manager are Software Updater, available only from the Details area of the
System Settings. The social network users can log in via Online Accounts in
System Settings.
By
default, all local file search shopping results returned from Amazon.
