The Beta and RC was in pretty widespread use for a while before the
release date, which *should* have ironed out many bugs.
But I think one problem Ubuntu might be facing here is a large
proportion of beta 'testers' who do so to have the bleeding-edge
software rather than for the rigorous expulsion of bugs. And a
peculiarly large install base on near-identical hardware (VirtualBox)

There certainly seemed to be fewer problems than I was expecting given
the large changes.
