I want to apologize for the name calling. No matter what I think about MS, I shouldn't have called him ignorant and arrogant. It just infuriated me that he came here to joke and tease.
Since he stated this is settled, I suggest we stop arguing about the decision and follow the open source path (the design team's logic has been proven flawed already and we should not expect an illogical decision to be reconsidered by logical argumentation): bring it back ourselves and ignore the official position. I wouldn't be surprised if the feature was brought back officially in future releases. Since logic is out of the equation, decisions in Ubuntu are easily taken and easily reverted. (That's exactly why I have a hard time deploying Ubuntu in professional environments, btw. Unpredictability is probably the number one "feature" of Ubuntu these days.) @f_padia: Apple and Microsoft dictate. I don't know if they listen or not, but they definitely dictate without any public discussion between design leaders and users. I've never seen Jobs, Gates or Balmer chatting with their users. I was hoping Ubuntu would be different from that. Maybe I'm just wrong. @Ego: great initiative. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I believe most of us just want a clean maximized window environment and will live happily with the slight inconsistencies your approach might bring (where non-maximized windows are allowed to go, etc.). You have proven it can be done easily (so much for "hard to maintain code"). More experienced developers might follow and implement this at a lower level, then provide a PPA. My fingers are crossed.
