Hi :) I think that was all the start of the Ubuntu split away from using Gnome?
I think 1 big advantage that Unity started with was that it had figured out touch-screen right from the start and had it all built-in. Gnome were still refusing to start thinking about touch-screen. So even tho Ubuntu's usage of Unity was a Pita it was clearly going somewhere with handhelds, and tablets and all that whereas Gnome was diving into a hole by limiting itself to desktops, in an era where we keep being told that it's the end of the desktop. (Not that i believe the hype because like all such statements it's a blatant exaggeration). A few releases on and Unity seems quite usable, i even prefer it to Gnome-alikes now.
