I think its about getting some perspective. I'm not trying to defend Ubuntu as the same may be true for many operating systems:
The problems outweigh the positive upgrades and clean installations. I'd compare it to previous releases, but I can't find the threads.
It would seem logical that more people would use a support forum to get issues resolved than make threads to report each time something goes well.
Here is a good place to start if you want to lookup problems that others are having: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty
I think this is an ongoing battle for most operating systems that IMHO can only be fixed using open source drivers or releasing documentation that would allow others to write drivers.
The latter would be cheaper for manufactures as the community would do a lot of the work. And the former would allow distributions (Including Windows) submit patches if they wanted.
