Ars has a review of Ubuntu 7.10. They conclude: "Ubuntu 7.10 provides an unparalleled desktop Linux experience and sets new standards for power and ease of use. This release lives up to Ubuntu's reputation and delivers cutting-edge new features and solid enhancements. Although Ubuntu 7.10 is very impressive, some of the new additions - particularly Compiz and Tracker - lack the polish and robustness that they need to truly shine. These technologies are still a work in progress and give Ubuntu 7.10 a slightly unfinished feel. Ubuntu also unfortunately inherits some of the minor weaknesses of the GNOME desktop environment."

Although Ubuntu 7.10 is one of the most polished distros and provides the power of Linux on the desktop as well, it is still a product to be enhanced in many aspects.
It shows well where open source scene is nowadays: it is extremely powerful in parts, lacks parts and is a minefield where it comes to new features.
Anyway, I am a mostly happy user while recognizing the current limits. And yes, seeing the progress keeps my happiness up.
