Ahh, right. In the light of later clarification, I knew understand
this. You'll move them from 10.04 to 12.04, LTS to LTS. OK.

But this seems to pose 2 questions, to me:

[1] You might not like Unity, but should you not give your customers
their own choice? I mean, I like Unity just fine, myself, & I'm a
Linux power-user, on Ubuntu since the first release, a Linux user
since before KDE 1.0 & a Unix user for about 23yr.

[2] You *do* realise that GNOME 2 is end-of-life & is disappearing
from Ubuntu as of the next version? By 12.04 you won't have the choice
of removing Unity and "going back" to GNOME 2 - it will be gone
forever.
