After looking at some of the Mockups, I SURE have to agree with this 
statement. I shurely hope Ubuntu doesn't look like Brown Vista all shiny 
and gooey looking when this is all over with!!!

from the late 90ies"

Did you use Linux in the late 90's? I did - it looked like this:

or this:

Or even worse:

(These are just some I found w/ a google image search...)

8.04, even if it decreases performance!"

I honestly can't beleive I just read that!!! Sure, let's just drag down 
everyones OS so we can say it looks pretty (that is if you call shiny 
reflective plastic looking widgets "pretty").

Again, like you said, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I just 
thought I would through a suggestion out there.
