IDK, that launcher looks freakin' annoying...i was thinking of putting Ubuntu on my Wind, but i guess i'll just go with the regular Desktop Edition, and some Compiz-Fusion for the ultimate experience.
Good luck with that. Ubuntu with Compiz-Fusion and any multitasking is going to be painfully slow on the new Atom machines. And who knows what the battery life going to be like (Ubuntu and other linux distros aren't known for their power saving ability on the notebooks).
@ Ravi Im writing this from a 7" Eee with full Ubuntu Ubuntu is such a customizable OS that i feel no "clutter" whatsoever Compiz lets me have many 7" desktops running so that each app can have its own seven inches, which is more than I can expect on a 10 or 11 inch XP laptop

Exactly. Take a computer with limited screen real estate and clutter it up. . . .
That's where multiple desktops come in.
