Ubuntu's Natty Narwhal release

I can hardly wait. Even if things don't work out well with 10.04, I have every confidence that they will work out eventually.
 
Wayland will definitely not make it into Natty.

One change that will that isn't mentioned is that Banshee will replace Rhythmbox.

The biggest change will of course be unity. I expect it will be much faster than 10.10's version, as it is using compiz.

Regarding innovation. I have to say that Ubuntu are being highly innovative at the moment. There's Unity, Wayland, talks of moving to LightDM instead of GDM, Ubuntu One etc...

What Ubuntu have changed, is that they are no longer sticking to the run Gnome / KDE paradigm, but are systematically changing the desktop, into what they believe will be the best user experience.
 
huh? Really?

yup

Here you go :

No, seriously, Ubuntu has done more for Linux than any other distro. For the first time people were actually considering moving from Windows to Linux - "normal people", not geeks. Just for that you have to applaud him.

Again marketing.

And if people are not interested in Linux anymore, it will die a slow and painful death, no matter how good it is.

You couldn't be more wrong. It just wouldn't be as popular as it is now. Which has never been the intended goal of Linux.

of those i believe Unity and Ubuntu One are the only Canonical projects. Unity is almost a Gnome Shell fork it seems while it seems to me Ubuntu One is no more than Dropbox.

most other distros do this in any event.
