I plan to stay with my near perfect and very customized install of 8.04.

In my case, the eventual decision to upgrade will probably be driven by
hardware. I'm currently running 32 bit Kubuntu on 64 bit hardware which
limits the machine to 4 GB of ram.

I'll likely wait to bite the bullet and upgrade the OS and ram when all
updates ends for 8.04. That should have the added advantage that KDE 4.x
will be much more refined by then.
