I should have added ibtheacbitches to the post. Anyway, its a freakin RC, meaning all known bugs are gone. And it followed an obvious downward trend from the previous versions. Your last sentence is just silly fanboi conjecture.
Can I interest you in an Influx?

No one has noticed it until it was benchmarked, so I don't think its noticeable. That doesn't mean that it doesn't exist tho. And it doesn't even mean that its Ubuntu, as the kernel changed repeatedly in those releases as well. All it means is that each Ubuntu release has gotten progressively slower and has nothing to do with it "sucking".

Ooh I might burn this off tonight and try it out. I'm pretty happy with my distribution but what new features does this one have?

O I C now. One of our computers at home has this new version and it's pretty sweet. Works fine anyway, it's not like I know the intricacies of it.
New kernel, new GNOME, support for almost every 3G card, the new Dell's awesome DKMS, improvements to the NetworkManager, and the coolest feature doesn't seem to have a name, but you can plug in a USB drive and it makes a netbook remix install of you main desktop complete with carrying over things like users, passwords, preferences etc. This way you can use netbooks more like they're being intended to use. I think its rad and can't wait to try it this weekend.
Edit : and yes, I would very much like an Influx. Where does one sign up?
You know, I just can't bring myself to care about this sort of thing anymore. Maybe I'm getting old. Maybe I'm right in thinking that apathy and dismay is the ultimate result of making a hobby into a profession. I just don't know.
On the flip side, I'm setting up an ESX cluster to host a few dozen dev environments. That's kinda cool. Maybe it's not quite time to turn in my geek card after all.

ESX is shit hot. That reminds me, I need to find a place where I can take my VMWare cert...
There is a reason why ESX isn't free. Its well built, road tested, and loaded with features the free crap don't have...
Oh, look who knows so much.
ESX 3.5i is now free, and an excellent small scale solution. There's no reason to not switch to it if you're currently running a small GSX setup.
edit: also, I have to say that while the ESX core product is super useful and rock solid, there is a very real lack of polish on many of the other tools including virtual center--- or more particularly, the license manager component of virtual center.
