I had held back upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 because of reports of bugginess and the fact that I use a laptop (T60) where I had some problems on 7.10 getting wifi to work and some kinks with video card (afaict I can't run compiz).

Anyway I upgraded a few days ago. So far it's been great. It's definitely feels faster to me and the font rendering is better. All my settings came through fine and no problems with wifi or video (still no compiz). The one thing I haven't tried yet is VMware, which i'll get around to this weekend.

The only problem I have is one I already had - Gnome/GDM won't start normally, probably due to a borked attempt to install emacs with anti-aliasing last week.
