I was in a computer shop earlier, we were discussing Windows (the guy
that worked there was saying how much he liked M$)... he then said (with
no prompting) something to the line of "I think people will start using
linux soon. All Ubuntu needs to do is change their menus so there's only
one - at the bottom." i.e. to be more like Windows.

Unfortunately, I think this is partially true. Windows has a Start
menu... that's extremely well understood, almost universally. So, people
expect to see a menu and for it to be in the location they expect.

It's seems to simple to even mention that Ubuntu has a menu, more than
one in fact, but that it's in a different corner of the screen to its
Windows counterpart, but I think something as simple as that will put
off a huge number of people using it.

I'm not saying we should change anything but, just like M$ said they
took *a very long time* to design their Start button in Vista, I think
for Jaunty some serious design decisions should be looked at to see if
the current menu system/location is giving the best results.
