What do you mean?

 

Innovative features. I can't even find a change log for the latest release.

 

Looks like a load of fluff about social networking, music shops and cloud storage areas to me, hardly massive steps for an operating system.

If new versions of Windows were released every six months would you expect to see major new features introduced with each and every version?

I've just come back to Ubuntu after a while away, lots of improvements since I last tried it out (Hardy I think was the LTS release last time I checked in)

 

Still got irritating problems with ATI support though (though that's not specific to Ubuntu I know, might have to bite the bullet and get a cheap nVidia card)

I run two screens on an ATI HD4870 (1920x1080 & 1280x1024) with no problem, what's up?

Full screen programs like XBMC. It doesn't recognize that there are two monitors and instead plonks itself between the two, half on one screen, half on the other.

 

It works if I have 2 separate desktops and start it on the desktop I want it on (my TV), but that also means no dragging windows between the two.

 

I think I'm going to have to write a script to make it a full screen window on the second desktop automatically at start up. That might work better anyway as XBMC steals the input on full screen so you can't use anything else anyway

Nice review here

 

Ubuntu 10.10: date with destiny missed ? The Register

 

Overall Ubuntu 10.10 is a worthy, if somewhat boring, update that polishes and refines some of the big changes that arrived with 10.04 earlier this year. The interface has been improved with some welcome attention to the small things, but if you're looking for major new features this release may well disappoint you.
