I haven't ever seen scrollbars on the left in any operating system. I would much rather have scrollbars on the right, because that's the way it's always been in Ubuntu. Scrollbars in Windows 1.0 (I have tested it in a virtual machine) were on the right. I definitely want scrollbars on the right, and I suspect a lot of users want their scrollbars on the right because they are used to having them there.
