[Ubuntu Chicago] jaunty upgrade broke my laptop :(

[Randall Wilson]

Oops. If it's any consolation, it's Windows 7 beta and, although very 
smooth and nearly as pretty as Jaunty, is totally useless to me except 
for maybe testing things with IE 8. Did you guys know that a fresh 
Windows install comes with nothing? I don't have time to sit around all 
day and download programs from random sites just to make my computer work!
