Brilliant Brainstorms is a (usually) weekly summary of some of the best/most interesting brainstorms from the Ubuntu Brainstorm site as well as various other Brainstorm-style sites.

For new users just switching from Windows, being able to keep a Windows VM can be very helpful in transitioning. Even many veteran Linux users keep a Windows VM for a few applications they just can’t replace. It would be great to use VirtualBox to make the process of creating a Windows VM completely seamless.

With network connectivity becoming increasingly important, it would be great to be able to combine the bandwidth from multiple network interfaces easily without complicated configuration. Particularly when fancy networking equipment is not available, this would be very helpful.

The new notifications system is quite cool, but there is no obvious way to change the color of the bubbles. For people that like to completely customize their computers, this could be a problem. It would be great to add a theming system so that the look could be completely customized.

If you have ever spent some time messing around in Compiz’s settings, you have almost certainly assigned something to a key combination that was already in use for something else. These sorts of collisions can create strange effects, so a universal way of managing hotkeys would be great.
