Well it looks like even the Ubuntuforums Admin is not impressed with the latest "offering": http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1470633

I have been with Ubuntu since day one and this is the first time I have been annoyed to the point of posting a thread like this and it saddens me a lot.

I believe that 10.4 should not have been released. It is not ready , not by a long shot. The version they have released is worse than the Beta.

It's simply canonical being canonical: Releasing software before it's ready. Software that Debian and other distros would not put in a mainstream release until it's been properly tested. This is where the commercially oriented Ubuntu development/release cycle falls down.
