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.

I completely agree. The fact is, if a user has been used to ACPI working on their Mac or Windows laptop, there is no way in hell you're going to be able to convince them to switch to Linux if suspend/resume isn't reliable. (I put up with it out of principle, and it works better on Feisty than previous Ubuntu versions, but it still doesn't work reliably enough for me. And most users out there don't care about principle--they just want it to work. This one issue alone is enough for my non-tech girlfriend not to switch from her Windows laptop--regardless of what other "benefits" Linux might bring.) Of course for desktop users it's probably not a big deal.
