Gnome Shell is Almost Ready to Rock Your Desktop

I think the gnome devs figured if Ubuntu could make unity (something that should stay on tablets and netbooks) be forced upon desktop users - they could do the same? IDK I think many people are going to stick with Gnome 2.xx or jump ship to KDE/LXDE/Enlightenment

And I foresee many others abandoning ship to other distros that don't marginalize themselves.

With a couple of small changes I'd recommend it for any Tablet/touch device.
The small changes: make the top panel hide. As things stand flicking the mouse into the top left corner of the display opens the "Activities" view, so why not go one step further and hide the top panel until a Mouse hits the top left corner or a finger or stylus taps the top left corner of the screen.
It would also be nice if the networkmanager displayed it's menu when in "Activities" View, just as the other items in that part of the top panel do.
For me, at least, the Applications view is pure small screen device, it just doesn't work as a menu on something like my setup, which consists of two monitors, in fact the whole workflow feels wrong for a large screen/multi monitor setup.
