I doubt Google will be able to contribute much to the UI. Google sucks at making UI that has more than a logo and a search bar.
But I agree with the rest of what you said dankles, Linux should take UI seriously.

I have been using it for a week now and it works like a charm. No problems that couldn't be fixed within minutes.

I'm guessing you found a "wrong" way to get it. Anything major changed from RC1? Btw, have there only been RC1 and this Final RTM? Or has there been a RC2 and RC3 too? I just got RC1 when it was released and haven't heard anything about RC2.
EDIT: No need to answer my question anymore.

Heh ya... I'm really anxious to see what the google OS interface will look like.
Have you seen the moblin v2 linux distro? *THAT* has quite a good interface (for a netbook). It uses the new OpenGL Clutter Toolkit designed by intel. And dell seems to be more interested in it than the google thing ATM.

I don't like looking into netbook stuff. I HATE netbooks. It's almost on equal par of hatred of macs. Basically, because to me, both are equally unusable. One is hardware lacking (I hate small keyboards and screens) one has a UI I cannot stand.
Ubuntu 9.04 was a disappointment to me. I'd rather have 8.10. (9.04 broke the screen res and some other small things) I'm too lazy to swap back, I'm waiting on 9.10 or w/e for a fix.
RTM on the other hand looks good. Hopefully, there's less of a BSOD issue in RTM.

I've owned a netbook, and liked it quite a bit. It's not a laptop or desktop or any kind of workstation. It was never ment to be such.
