Heh silly apple, with their T-1000-like icons that expand when you scroll over them (but also annoyingly slow down your mouse).

Looking forward to my dist-upgrade, once I'm confident everything is stable and ready

Your dock slows down your mouse? What hardware do you have? All is pushed into the graphics card, it shouldn't slow it down.

I think certain Ubuntu themes looks just as nice as OSX (obviously not that orange "Human" theme though ) I really like the blue one, Ice I think it's called.

Using 8.04 right now... sucks having to set it up again though (that's Wubi for you).

Still, YAY!

I may have to pirate windows
just to try out wubi

I feel I'm missing out...

How so, it wasn't just a software update like the 7.10 one?

Oh, it doesn't do that anymore.

Oh wow. I have to install 8.10 now? Whatever, i'll wait for the next one.

I broke my 8.04 beta by mucking around with the network config files (could no longer connect to the internet) so had to reinstall anyway, although Wubi has been known to break installations if you try and update within Ubuntu in the past.

It was an early OSX release, a number of years ago. And I don't mean performance-wise. More like, it was coded to slow down mouse movement, presumably so you can scroll to it quicker from elsewhere without being too careful or something... but it was annoying.
