A month ago I wrote a review on Ubuntu's 7.04 version and in it I promised a second look once the final version was to released. Feisty Fawn was released last week and as it seems so far, it is one of the most (if not the most) successful Linux distro release ever. This means that we can't help it but compare it with XP and Mac OS X, after having tested it in 3 laptops and 2 desktops in my lab.

My understanding is that the next LTS is likely to be 8.04.
I agree wholeheartedly with this editorial, although with a few points.
Microsoft is apparently having many driver issues with Vista, despite uber market share and mega bucks... and MacOs only has to worry about the hardware it specifies. While this doesnt change what the author says, which are the cold realities of competition, it indicates how mammoth the task really is for OSS, and how well OSS is doing all things considered.
IMO with any PC purchase, whether you are going to run Windows or Linux, a little internet research pays big dividends in terms of stability and expectations.
On another note, I am glad ubuntu hasn't opted for compiz or beryl yet... esp. now that there is a merge planned. moreover, i wont really feel 100% comfortable running compiz until its as good as metacity but opengl turbocharged.
