Comment 750 for bug 532633

In Germany the feedback about the new LTS is very very positve. Most of the users, not Alpha- Beta-testers are surrprised about the fast, very fast booting and exited about the new and modern Design. Only a low percent in the forums etc. (~ 2-5%) is worry about the new Design or about the position of the buttons. Lamentations about Bugs and the most Hardware don't work "out the box" is very low and not the same drama like in Karmic it was. Lucid is well received here. This is my observation. I remember that in the past it was quite horrible to read always, after every new Ubuntu-Release, that the colors (old Brand) is terrible and it's looking old (bad). Now I read sometimes, somewhere that some peoples liked more the old Human-Theme, but it's only a big minority. The mayority is glad about the new look and feel. Thumbs down for the design-team, what I read some posts before, is really not fair. If you look exactly, you will see the sensibility and good ideas they but in "it". It's normal that peoples haves different tastes: so some peoples like it flat, glossy, outlined, bright, dark, round, modern, comicstyle ... It's impossible to make them all happy. But in my opinion the design-team did something beautiful and modern. It's the first lap of more and more improvements. I give here a clear thumbs up for the design-team and a big "Thank you"! A big "Thanks" to M. Shuttleworth and the whole team. They made all in all a great work. About the buttons: No sinking Titanic here. It isn't a bug, only a decision. At last, but not least: Ubuntu is M.Shuttleworh's Baby.

... thank you for reading. Now I am going to play with my new, fresh installed Lucid Lynx. See you in a new case or new life. :-)
