Cool it could be used as the new Plymouth theme for 10.10… only if really boots in ten seconds ;p
Is 10 seconds really that fast?
It would make an impressive bootloader indeed (plymouth theme).
Would be nice to use, but needs to be made 5x longer until Ubuntu actually boots in 10 seconds.
That would be a great booting graphic.
que buena animación para el arranque de ubuntu 10.10
It shows 10 seconds until the end of the video. Nowhere does it show 10 seconds until the desktop is usable. It will still take another 20-30 seconds until you can actually do anything.
The Canonical design team ought to take some cues from this video. Simple, straightforward, makes its pitch clear and delivers it effectively. It’s friendly, upbeat, not mired in technical mumbo-jumbo, and importantly isn’t obviously lifting any aesthetic qualities from Apple or Microsoft. This feels like it could be one in a series of ads boasting the very practical, demonstrable, and relatable ways in which Ubuntu is superior, also including software updates, application discovery and installation, social integration via Me Menu/Gwibber, etc. If the tone of this video were translated onto ubuntu.com, it would offer newcomers a very fresh and different idea of what Ubuntu is: approachable, refreshing, slightly whimsical, unencumbered, free, and Free.
Too bad we’re now stuck using the Ubuntu font for all text in our promotional material and online presence.
