It's good. There's a 3 minute interview with someone from Canonical. Would have been nicer if it'd been a little bit longer. They just about explained what open source was and gave a tour of the OS. It was also mentioned that you couldn't run Windows or Mac OS programs on it, but didn't mention that there are usually equivalent programs available (while it's a good thing to say, I don't remember such a big emphasis when Macs are discussed). Unfortunately, I think Ubuntu looked a little sad on screen compared to the latest shiney Windows release; I'm looking forward to an improved default theme and a revamp of Gnome. I'm thinking we should invite BBC people to the many launch parties that are happening this week! Theydo seem to be really trying to be balanced and informative. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
