For anyone that hasn't left already (such as myself); if Ubuntu turns into spware-adware-twitter-ware central in order to support it; that will truly p*ss people off and make them leave Ubuntu. At least with Windows there isn't some ad popping up in every titlebar window. No, it's not yet there in Ubuntu either... but "yet" is the key word here.

"It could be something so bad that people* will complain about it by itself, let alone the title bar scramble, so Mark is attempting to separate the criticisms, reordering the title bar now so that the future complains would be limited to the new gimmick alone"

This is/would be a totally political move, and a good way to do it to minimize the perceived impact on people. This may also be why Mark and company haven't even given the slighted indication of what the invisible titlebar voodoo may be.

(in case anyone asks: Why am I still posting here if I've moved to Debian? Well, I'm in the lifeboat just watching the Titanic sink is all.)
