Canonical announces that they will be replacing the menu with a "HUD" or heads up display. What this means is a user will no long have access to menus and your menu option will be accessed by typing the various commands.

What does this mean to me and probably every other user out there? Well at first thought it means that now instead of worrying about what is where in the menus I am going to have to memorize all the commands.

Also I don't see how this is going to improve my work flow now that I will have to activate the "HUD" and then type 5 letters to bring up the print dialog instead of the two clicks it would other wise take.

Will this kill Linux or Ubuntu on the desktop? I don't know but I can't certainly seeing it help.
