Comment 308 for bug 668415

Ironically, my finding the design decision to have the launcher on the left in Ubuntu encouraged me to move the taskbar on my Windows install there too (something I'd tried before with a smaller screened laptop that had 1280*800 as its native resolution, and quickly undid). It works great on a 1600*900 screen at least as far as I'm concerned. I noticed that my 12yo, who also dual-boots Ubuntu and Windows on a 16:9 ratio screen had done the same thing.

If I were a subject, we'd definitely come out as a weighing on the side of the status quo here.

But... of the two OSs mentioned here, why is Ubuntu the one where we'd just better like it, because it's not going to change if we don't?
