Comment 284 for bug 332945

@Matthew Paul Thomas

I do agree that the bug tracker is biased towards people not in favor of this change.
Anyhow you are arguing a position here which holds no advantage over the old one and only creates discomfort and needs people to readjust and we all know the human being is a creature of habit and does not like changes, especially when they hold no advantage *at all*

I do agree also that some people ignore the icon in the systray, but those ppl will also ignore and possible not even see the minimized window too, so that argument falls flat.

(BTW bringing an example about a "IT Guy" ignoring updates just shows that the "IT Guy" should not be allowed to administrate a computer)

Human interface design, well, i do think that design is flawed, not saying the former design is not flawed (i personally think it was fine). So what should drive the human interface design? A small group of guys changing stuff over the heads of others or the majority? You decide.

Bringing up an example of the ubuntuforums, well, does not really fit, old design worked well and did not crash anything.
Why not have a vote or something and go with the majority, after all its a matter of taste.

I do not see any advantages of that new design, its slower, you get your updates not at once but a week later even if you say "give me updates at once", it has no permanent visual input ( i for example have my taskbar/launcher bar (awn) hidden, i only see it when i "go" with my mouse to the bottom of the screen).
So basically i am trading one click on the systray icon for the disadvantage of not being informed properly. I personally think that, sorry for the word, suckz bigtime.

If someone is so resistant to learning what the systray icon means (buhu you have to mouse over it) he/she will also never learn what the update-manager window means, so nothing gained.

Put the issue up for a vote, where the majority of ubuntu users can vote and don't decide over peoples head.
