It is that time of year again: a new Ubuntu release is upon us. The beta version of Ubuntu 8.04 was released a few days ago, so I decided to give it a try and see what new features and improvements they have shoved into this one. As always, this is as much a preview of the latest GNOME release (2.22) as it is of Ubuntu itself. Read on for the preview.

Apply doesn't really make sense for settings that can quickly take effect. If you want to change something, just click somewhere else.
Instant-apply is part of the gnome human interface guidelines:

What I "don't like", I'm using Ubuntu7.10, is that it's not possible to undo the changes done in preferences.
Example:
System -> Preference -> Screensaver
then change something, it's not possible to exit without saving the changes.
The changes you do are stored immediately.
Maybe this is Gnome related, I don't know.
But it's annoying.
