Comment 106 for bug 668415

What people are trying to tell - here and on Mark Shuttleworth blog, I recommend reading the comments there - is that Ubuntu is very bad for non-technical users. I can confirm it after trying to teach three non-technical people using it. They were lost, while they done things without problem (and without me having to explain simple tasks for them) with old Ubuntu.
"It's more appealing to the eye" - is it, really? The cacaphony of colours on the launcher hurts my eyes, the dash has insanely huge icons, in my opinion it's very far from appealing. And like I said the main problem is that is very hard to get started with.
