    None of the poll options, going to wait until AMD fglrx graphics is confirmed to work well, as usual.

    I never do upgrades anymore, my first attempts at that broke the system every time.

    I will do a clean install of Natty a couple of weeks after the final release, so that the major bugs will be fixed.

    I will only install Natty on one machine, the other machines are staying with the LTS until 12.04.1 is released.

    I'll probably wait a month or 2 after release, then do a clean install.

    Not going to. It has nothing to do with Unity, but 6 month is is just too soon for OS upgrade. Maverick is still new and it is running beautifully on my main machine, incredibly fast and smooth and I have customized it just the way I like. My plan was to keep it for about a year and then upgrade to 11.10 around Dec (when bugs in 11.10 are worked out), but since i like it so much I may wait even a bit longer.

    I keep my software up to date with a lot of PPAs, whatever stability problem that may arise it is still a lot more stable than starting from scratch (which is the worst case scenario if you f something up anyway) I don't do upgrades, always fresh install.

    Never.
    Staying with Lucid until April 2012, when the new LTS comes out.
    LTS is the way to go to enjoy the best GNU/Linux OS the community has to offer while not going crazy for updating/reinstalling every six months.

    I'll do a clean install probably in the summer.

    As soon as it starts behaving nicely on my computer. Last time I tried it, it finally managed to get as far as the desktop, but was pretty much unusable.

    Probably around Beta1/Beta2 if things go fine. That's usually the time I upgrade, depending on how busy I am at the moment.

    I had upgraded to the alpha, but after I managed to break everything (not related to the alpha) I will probably wait until a few months after its done

    Me, too. I prefer to do clean installs instead of upgrades and it is just too much work to do every 6 months, especially when I have all my preferences set just the way I like them.

    Have a great day!
