The first release candidate of Mandriva Linux 2008, codenamed Copernic, is now available. The release notes are available here. A guide to major new features (some of which are not yet implemented in this release candidate) is available here, and the detailed technical specifications are available here. This release candidate is available as a three CD or one DVD Free edition (containing no non-free software or drivers) for the x86-32 and x86-64 architectures, with a traditional installer, and as a mini-CD edition for both x86-32 and x86-64 architectures. A One combined live/install CD edition will be released in the near future (problems with unionfs prevented the One edition from being release at the same time as the other editions).

Have you tried it?
yes, i did it several times, since the first Mandrake release.
I use it as my main desktop because I care for look and it's far from irrelevant.
Well, beside the fact that I personally don't like it, I'm sure it has its strength.
But the question I posed was different: it seems to me that it is getting less and less attention from media (especially from the non-tech ones) against, just say, ubuntu and redhat.
