It’s not turning ubuntu into windows 7 but providing new applications to the app database so if a user would like to add that feature they can. Think about it as eye candy.

As others have mentioned there are already ways to do this, but such an active desktop would fall under "extra eye candy." Ubuntu's philosophy is, "Leave out the extra by default. You can always install this stuff later." 3: Icon previews are nothing new. The idea for the trash is interesting, especially if trash is configured to clean itself regularly. **However,** Ext3, Reiser, XFS, etc. will (almost) never need to be defragmented. 4: There is no 4? 5: Already done; just pick a different filebrowser. 6: See TTS [Text To Speech]. Although TTS might be an interesting feature to be configured by default in Ubuntu. 7: If you don't like the taskbar, you'll find it is very easy to reconfigure. If you disagree with the default setup, you can take your opinions to the Ubuntu devs. They, in turn, will take your thoughts into careful consideration, and then tell you what I just wrote--it is very, very easy to customize the taskbar. 8: Not going to happen. A media center would fall under the "extra" category. Besides, which one would you use? There are several options that all do different things. 9: Completely agree on this one. Suse plays a slideshow of programs and features of Linux while its installing, which would be a lot more fun than the loading bar Ubuntu uses to indicate progress. 10: There is no 10? Oh, right, make one up. How about a rescue mode, like Red Hat or Suse have? GRUB is broken? Well, you could either get a livecd and chroot into your Linux, or run the rescue options off the installer. I find the latter easier. More or less, everything you're looking for in this list (plus my addition) already exists in the Linux world--just not by default in Ubuntu. If, by implement you mean that Ubuntu should include this stuff in the default install, then maybe ok. If you think these things need to be created, then I suggest Googling for these packages.

Outdated
only # 3 & 6 are not present
it’s not good even in the far future to have these 10 & others implemented
BTW a lot of these & others are in kde 4.3 and 4.2 also
do not blame ubuntu for this its gnome desktop limitations and these limitations are a necessity for the great stability it brings
and also not everybody have the computing power needed to make their desktop more active like this it takes precessing to do more than these

I don’t know how I stumbled this AGAIN a year before & I gave it thumbs up but now oh baby its going down for the reason that ubuntu community should do whatever they want to do go there to let your voice be heard then you’ll know the cold hard truth and what they should implement and how

thanks for the post good one BTW & I was kidding about the down thing, thumbs up.
