Bug Description
Sorry if this has been told several times, but I need to say it before 12.04 goes out.
1- Take a normal computer user and ask him to use Unity in 12.04
2- He understands that the have to hit the Ubuntu Button on Top left to launch an application.
3 - He expects then some links to find the application he's looking for ( maybe a bit like in 11.10 )
4- Instead he found an empty space and don't see the shortcuts at the Bottom that could lead him to categories of apps.
5 - he just close the lid of the laptop and ask me " install me a normal operating system"
Solution : Hitting the Dash should in less than 2 click enable the user to launch the application hes's looking for without typing its name.
12.04 will be a disaster without this. Maybe this is being worked on for beta2 ?
