I am running both 12.04 and 13.04, both are super.  The former is running
on a mini Asus system with Cedarview drivers, which are not supported, but
still works well.  13.04 is on a 3 yr old HP laptop and is clean and
crisp.  13.04 will run on the Asus but very slow. Lubuntu runs like a charm
on it.  I installed 13.04 on my wife's touch screen and it works very
well,aside perhaps from a few touch screen issues such as windows
decorations that are too small and placed too close to the launcher.  Of
course there is a variety of experiences such as yours, Roger.  We've heard
a bit of grief about Windows 8.
