Now, the most striking new feature is the integration of Amazon.com search suggestions (for Books /Music etc.) through the unity dashboard. Now, its a neat feature indeed and but we can expect some criticism regarding it. Ubuntu renders advertisement for Amazon.com which provides revenue for Canonical Ltd.  (No complaints from me and I pretty much loved buying a book from the unity dashboard itself.)
