I do wish people wouldn't bash 9.10 as much...

You bash Windows left and right, but DON'T BASH UBUNTU, people worked very hard on it, and it hurts its image.

/facepalm

People have a right to bash windows LOL it's going down the pan, what do people want out of ubuntu anyway ??? for it to go the Microsoft way, take a look at mint Linux if they want another Ms look-a-like but don't BASH ubuntu, what the devs & alpha/beta & RC testers are doing for Ubuntu deserve a medal, if it wasn't for them where would Linux be

Without Ubuntu Linux would still be actively developed and it still would be used by people.

Same to be said about Windows 7. A lot of Beta and RC testers went in and reported bugs to make sure there weren't any in the final release. In the same respect, they deserve a medal too.

I didn't do any of that for either system therefore I deserve cheesecake.

Big Big difference here. Ubuntu Devs dont get PAID. And, MS beta and Rc "testers" are either being used, or just want to try the new OS without paying for it. Many dont ever report back to MS with anything. Myself included.

Also, there's a difference between bashing MS on a Linux board, and going over to the MS forums and bashing there. A troll is a troll is a troll.

Happens every single release...

...

There is no way to avoid this happening unless there is some way to get a huge boost in the number of beta testers.

...

Psst! Don't tell anyone ... but this is how they get a huge boost in beta testers

yeah but look at the finished product tho, 2 expensive,full of security holes what MS don't fix for weeks, the dreaded blue screen of death, insert a printer into a usb port from the one it was installed from and re-goes though installing the driver again , then take a look in device manager & next to printer will be a number like (10) or something like that how many times you swapped usb leads. the same for every usb device you insert, Viruses pron (I've heard people talk about how they haven't had AV , firewalls or spyware apps instead & never got virsues, excuse my French now Bull-crap, 2 minutes after doing a clean install of vista for my partner on her brand new laptop , windows popped a box up saying explorer has devoloped a serious error & needs to shut down, stuck the hard drive in a cage in mine & scanned it with ClamTK & guess what loads of viruses. & the hard drive had a trial of norton in but got them from updating it LOL, no wonder I use Linux

Ubuntu Devs dont get PAID.

Wrongo mate. Canonical pays developers to work on Ubuntu and Ubuntu-related products.

Before you call me a troll, get your facts straight.
