"I like Ubuntu. With each incarnation I'm seeing improvements and betterments that make the OS better, more robust, more user friendly and more fully-featured. In fact, Ubuntu 8.04 is the first Linux distro that I've come across that I would consider loading onto my notebook to replace Windows. Throughout my testing Ubuntu 8.04 beta has been reliable and performed flawlessly. Bottom line, Hardy Heron is, for me at least, the best Linux distro ever," writes Adrian Kingsley-Hughes.

He seems to think Nautilus is new.
He refers to default applications that have been replaced as though these are improvements -- but doesn't even refer to any substantive improvements in most cases.
He's talking about how Ubuntu is the only distro worth using to replace MS Windows, and as proof lists a bunch of software that could run on any distro and some changes that are common to all distributions (like a kernel upgrade).
Hell, my favorite Linux distribution isn't even my favorite OS -- and I still find his ignorant assumption that Ubuntu is the be-all and end-all of Linux-based OSes beyond absurd.

No he seems to think Ubuntu 8.04 comes with a new version of Nautilus, which is correct.
He refers to default applications that have been replaced as though these are improvements -- but doesn't even refer to any substantive improvements in most cases.
So it's not a very in depth review. That's not the same thing as being blindingly ignorant. If the new apps are better than the apps they're replacing then surly that would be an improvement.
He's talking about how Ubuntu is the only distro worth using to replace MS Windows,
No he's talking about Ubuntu in an Ubuntu review, how very very strange. This isn't supposed to be a complete roundup of all available distros. He also didn't say that Ubuntu is the only distro worth using to replace Windows. He said Ubuntu is the first distro he tried that he would consider replacing windows with. Notice the huge difference between the two?
He talked briefly about the new Ubuntu in a brief review of the new Ubuntu. How totally ignorant of the fool.

Anything in particular you're thinking about? I read the article and on the whole it seemed quite reasonable. Nothing too wrong or ignorant about it.
