I think it is easy for the workspace switcher to be seen by a *novice* as an item which in their mind, adds uncertainty or complication and might be a negative factor in a brief demo. For many years windows novices have been told, whenever 'Linux' is mentioned, that Linux is only for geeks, not for others like them. I get this repeated to me literally whenever I ask in retail outlets or ask any random windows self made expert. I would have misgivings about showing the workspace switcher to a real novice at an *early* stage, it would run counter to what they had seen in the first few minutes of great simplicity. -- alan cocks -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
