I love Ubuntu and I am an Ubuntu user a long time ago but the next version Ubuntu 9.10 seems to focus on wallpapers and themes !! I don’t like Ubuntu’s way of development. It is just focusing on themes and ignoring important projects like PulseAudio and X.org.
In this article I will talk a little about the new features that will be in Mandriva 2010. The final version is expected to be available on the 3rd of November.
Mandriva Linux 2010 is aimed at improving the user experience for daily tasks. let’s have a look to what’s new :
1- New design for installer
To better user experience of installation, the Mandriva developers thought that installer design is quite old now and need to be refreshed to stay ahead of competition. The next screenshot shows the new design. 
2- Live upgrade
Finally, Mandriva Online will be able to notify user about the new version of the distribution and propose the system to upgrade it without using installer.
3- Moblin desktop
Mandriva 2010 will include the Moblin 2.0 environment designed for mobile desktop platforms, making Mandriva Linux the first distribution to integrate it in a free distribution.This environment has been designed for mobile desktop platforms. Netbooks are a given target but you can also use it when you want an ergonomic and simple environment for daily tasks. 
Installing it is easy: install task-moblin package in rpmdrake and choose Moblin in connection manager.
4- Guest accounts
Guest accounts, based on the xguest package, can now be established to offer safe temporary access to the system via gdm or kdm.
i think it harsh. did u look deeply into develompment? i can’t hardly accept u said that it is only focusing on theme & wallpaper. please take a look to the core, don’t get fooled by it’s cover. indeed, Ubuntu has the nicer look than any other, isn’t it? so respect that.
i’m not Ubuntu fans or neither a user of it. But i can see from many user experience who have tried it’s beta version. They said it’s rock. Give it a try, hope you’ll see the diff between 9.04 and 9.10
but I believe, even that u have said that, u still wants that karmic, don’t u?
