    That's a great news, but I actually stopped using uBuntu after Canonical engineers decided to introduce the Unity interface. I was a fan of the older GUI. Unity makes me feel like I'm using a poor-man's version of Mac OSX interface. Trust me, I love uBuntu - but it's always struggled with the GUI.

    Having been a long time Windows user, I got addicted to the Microsoft Office and continue to believe that no other productivity software even comes closer to what MS Office offers. No offence meant to the Libre Office fans; but it just doesn't cut it for me. I hold the opinion even after using the iWork suite from Apple. MS Office rules - love it or hate it.

    Python can always be installed separately. But default installation was always welcome.

    Curious to know whether there are any significant and noticeable updates in Genome 3.5.90. I no longer keep track of Genome project progress.

    It is preferred that LTS versions are updated yearly ... like 11.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS to 13.04 LTS.
