Think about it. It makes sense.

Google has really had their goggles (or blinders) on about the whole app market.
While they've managed to create a lot of market momentum behind what is fundamentally a hardware platform, they have been unable to tie that to their software based platform.
Is this because of their 'open' stance? Perhaps, but that's only going to be able to be discerned over time.
As hardware has become 'commodotized', so has software, and so too will the 'great' web services like google.
It's only a matter of time.
Google will be (or already is?) the new Microsoft.
Just as Microsoft was the new IBM.
Of course they censored it.
This falls under the realm of a threat to national security.

"For the first five years of the company's life, it wasn't set up to make money," Asay said. "The company was set up to make a fantastic Linux distribution and other tools around it and get it out there and get people using it. That was the focus."
OK disclaimer first. I haven't seen it yet. I haven't seen a screen shot yet. I haven't read anything yet. I'm still running 9.04.
But I can absolutely see reasons to support this.
I recently enabled the Group and Tab Windows in Compiz.
I was staggered by the functionality and possibilities, but frustrated by the usability. Right click on title bar? Nothing. Anything in the Windowing menu (Top left under icon)? Err, nope. AFAICT, the only way to make any use of it is knowing the key stroke combos. It's like learning all over again! And this is the only way to control the GUI itself! No integration into the Windowing UI?
So, from my perspective, you need a way to control the newer MDI technologies, and if they stick it in the window bar where _/[]/X was, stick that same _/[]/X wherever you want.
Eye candy will definitely win some converts. If it's an opportunity for Ubuntu to lead and someone else to react, then what have you got to lose?

Sad, isnt it? You should just be thankful you only see the really best of the ideas our glorious leaders of business and politics come up with.
It's as if pure marketing has taken over the country. Everyone is on a desperate mission to do something that is "first", "best" or some other superlative to get their 15 minutes of fame. Whether it actually makes any sense, is logically feasible, or benefits Australians is irrelevant.
