Hello Ubuntu Forums fellow members,
I am not one who enjoys upgrades of anything, but at the same time, I like to try the newest (usually). What features are new in Ubuntu 10.04 that would compel me (or anyone else reading this post) to upgrade? Or would it just be easier to stay with Ubuntu 9.10 (which I have). I didn't have a lot of time to research the changes made to the new version due out at the end of this month, so I was wondering if there is a compelling reason to upgrade. I have two computers, a desktop and a laptop, and both have Ubuntu 9.10 (the laptop has Windows 7 as well.) I do the usual: email, word processing/powerpoints, light web surfing and music occasionally. I don't like upgrades, and it seemed like upgrading from 8.04 to 9.04 to 9.10 was like way back when in the 90s when I upgraded from Windows 95 to 98 and then to Me, having no major fundamental difference between the earlier and later versions, so if this is a minor release with no significant changes, then I might pass, at least for now. I haven't a lot of time:)
What are the major new features in 10.04 that might be reason enough for one to upgrade?
