Thomas: That's it, we're quitting

Matthew Paul Thomas posts on the "Canonical Design" site about Canonical's intent to eliminate the "quit" button in applications. "The 'Quit' command in applications today is a relic from the days when the original Macintosh had no hard disk and couldn't multitask. Modern applications have made this command increasingly annoying. Fortunately, though, modern PCs have also made it increasingly unnecessary. Mobile operating systems have, for the most part, eliminated the 'Quit' command completely. In Ubuntu, the messaging and sound menus will help us do the same."
