Regarding recent changes to menu and window controls in the new beta version of Ubuntu 11.10, for example, "People like to explore," Bacon wrote in a on Tuesday. "It will take next to no time for Ubuntu users to discover that hovering over the text in the panel will display the menu and the window controls. The same can be said for discovering that if you hit the left side of the screen the Launcher appears. The point here is that when you have discovered that the menu is there, you don't need it to be visible all the time."
