[Desktop] What's new in Ubuntu 14.04?

[Hannie Dumoleyn]

Hello Gunnar,
Here is what I think of "What's new" (just my 2 cents ;))
Important are:
integrated menu bar versus conventional style
scopes and lenses
online accounts
contacts

#2, 3 and 9 could be left out in my opinion

#10 It is questionable whether this should be mentioned. If you add this
to the "What's new" list, there are many more applications that have
improved or been added since 12.04.

I am not sure whether to mention Ubuntu One, I do not remember how it
worked in 12.04.

As you correctly write, the freeze is very soon, so there is no time for
discussion. I only wanted to write down my thoughts on this subject.

Regards,
Hannie
