They should have kept pidgin as the default IM client. Now that is has support for video/audio the move to empathy is purely in-line with what gnome is doing.
Only real issue to me, is that the openoffice theme / default theme are a bit brown. I like the normal openoffice theme :) Other than my hatred of the new notification system, it is a *good* release. Like seriously i can't click on the thing / make it go away and i can't disable the notifications for items like network manager, where before you could. The exec-shield kernel patch was probably a good idea. Apparently the new installer shows you information as you install it. (i don't know as i used the alternative installation in a virtualbox vm). I think this is a good move :) (provided the information is relevant /informative ). I am yet to try ubuntu-one, however it does look good. -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
