What are you saying, that everything Microsoft teaches is intuitive because they teach it to alot of people? That doesn't make sense. I've also never, ever said that Ubuntu can't look like Windows, I'm just saying we should make good choices. If someone has never used a computer before, will they look at the Super L-button and say, oh, if I press this, then I'll get a menu of installed applications? I don't think so. Actually, I think using the button that actually has a menu-icon on it would be a much better choice, you know.. The one between Alt Gr and Ctrl, that has a Menu-icon on it?
What I'm saying, is we shouldn't copy choices just because people expect them. There is a big difference between "intuitive" and "easy to learn". I don't see any reason why Super L should be mapped to the Applications menu at all, except maybe to assist people who have been fooled into thinking Ubuntu is another version of Windows. And why should we force people to use that button that way? We have a choice. It takes less than a minute to configure Super L or Menu as the key to get to the applications menu. They should discover _that_.
Maybe you'd want to redesign the desktop to something like this? http://
