I've noticed a couple of bugs though (such as with Wubi, when you remove a Wubi installed copy of Ubuntu from XP it doesn't remove the entry from the Boot.ini file) but no real show stoppers.
I did find another issue too with an older Athlon XP motherboard with NVidia MCP2 chipset with integrated GeForce 2MX. I couldn't get higher than 800x600 with the FLOSS driver and the official NVidia driver was so unstable it just didn't work. I gave up and went out and bought a GeForce FX5200 which works much better (although still not flawless, but good enough for my liking). I'm not putting this down to Ubuntu though, I think it's more a case of an obscure graphics card (I've read about problems with other distros too).
