Upgraded my personal laptop with Jaunty this morning and the work computers this evening. 27 seconds boot-up time!!! 27 seconds. Tell you what, if you look at the advances over the last two years that ubuntu have made it's incredible. Those open-source boyos are welcome to buy cheaper books offa me any time. When I first used Dapper it gave me a feeling of accomplishment because it was obvious who the underdog was, with Jaunty I have dispelled the notion of Win 7 as a linux killer.
Sorry dude that your upgrade wan't so successful. My firefox is more sharpish than ever, I even activated all the add-ons for the first time & it was still snappy. Quicker app time opening. Absolutely thrilled by ubuntu. This is a full-scale OS which gets my work done and we all think it's fairly stylish. Quicker than OSX at the moment too which, mind you I'm not happy about because my mac wasn't cheap, makes you wonder where Ubuntu goes next. Go Canonical!
