Ubuntu Unity usability testing results and analysi...
It would have been nice to have a test group that used the classic Gnome 2 desktop. This would give the Unity scores a bit more context.

I guess that really wasn't the point. The intention was to find out the usability bugs in Unity.

But that should be the point. I am still not convinced why Unity is necessary.

It would also be interesting to see it run against Gnome 3 shell (it's 'intended' predecessor)

slightly pedantic, but Gnome 3 is the intended

Agreed. It's great to know that there's some formal usability testing going on (and very interesting to see the results), but without comparing the usability of the existing desktop it's hard to know if we're going forwards or backwards.
