Dapper Drake is a huge step forward for Desktop Linux as we know it. The way that the package manager is so well integrated into the core of the desktop is what sets it apart from operating systems like Windows XP (and even Vista) in my opinion. I am changing my time and decide it is a good idea to sync my clock every so often. I open up the clock configuration, and click "Periodically synchronize with internet servers", it informs me that ntp isn't installed and asks if I would like to install it. A few clicks away and ntp along with it's dependencies are downloaded + installed. I also love the gnome-app-install (Add Applications) love that is shown by default on administrative accounts. It really makes it easy for someone to install software that has no idea about how to do it.
This is the main reason why I like Ubuntu.
