This "bug" desn't affect me at all. Actually, this "bug" makes me very happy.

I use Mac OS X a lot, so I'm used to having these buttons on the left side. I also use Ubuntu and I always change the layout so the buttons are on the left side in my Ubuntu-installs. I only use Mac OS X and Ubuntu (with Ubuntu having these buttons on the left), but I don't use Windows at all, so I'm completely used to having these buttons on the left.

Why are there so many people who don't want to have these buttons on the left? Just use it for a few weeks and you're completely used to having the buttons on the left.

Why should these buttons have to be on the right? Why should Ubuntu be like Windows? Why should it be wrong to place the buttons on the left side like on Mac OS X. I'm really happy the appearance of Ubuntu is more and more changing to the appearance of Mac OS X, instead of the appearance of Windows.

Moving the buttons from the right side to the left side was a great decission and I really hope it won't be changed back, because of the negative comments. Those who are complaining just have to try it a few weeks and they'll be completely used to having the controls on the left side. Please Canonical, just release Ubuntu 10.04 and the future releases with the buttons on the left.
