Is anyone a "customer" in the literal sense of money exchanging hands?
No, not to my knowledge. I guess I could have said "user", "customer"
"end-user", or "if A creates B and C uses it...." ......it's all really
the same thing in the end. Rather than argue semantics, let's focus on
the points I made.

Yes, that would be actually ironic "if later it becomes known that these
design changes were in fact prompted in part by paying customers such as
OEM partners over the concerns of non-paying customers." This is
diverting off-topic, but you bring up a point, so I'll respond to it....

Microsoft and Yahoo partnered up with each other to form bing; and now
Canonical us changing the default search engine to Yahoo! because of
financial reasons. I get it. They need to make money to provide Ubuntu
for free. I have ZERO problem with them doing that because you can
easily change your default homepage, search engine, etc; but now if it
goes deeper than that, such as changes to the kernel, UI, we start
seeing ads popping up, I think that is a different animal. There isn't a
black and white absolute on what is acceptable and what is not, except
as each person decides for themselves what that is for them.

Again, off-topic, I apologize. I don't want to derail this, but you DO
and DID bring up a valid, possible point. There are most certainly
things going on behind the scenes of which we are not fully aware.
Perhaps this is why the uber-secret mystical "features" of 10.10 have
not (or cannot legally be) stated publicly...... or maybe it's just some
twist on E.E.E. or F.U.D. I don't know.

Yes, we disagree..... and that's ok. I welcome insights from all, even
if I don't agree with them. I do think the idea of making the buttons in
the current order on the right-hand side like they currently are; and
then have everything theme-driven with the option to change to left
(with the new button order) or to leave it "as is" in the current order
and location on the right; is really the best way to do things. gconf,
etc are just hacks that will break the UI.
