Fwd: Mission Control

[Chris Chabot]

Actually if you look at the betterdesktop movies where they plant 
innocent users behind a relatively default gnome setup, you will 
recognize a lot of the 'problems' those people had that slab tries to 
address.

I'd full heartedly recommend watching them, its a nice way to learn 
about the confusions a end user could have

ps what is the current menu other then a copy of the win95 menu? So why 
not 'upgrade' *pun intended* :-)
