I agree that change for the sake of change should be discouraged unless it is deemed to be absolutely beneficial in the long term.
I've been trying out the new themes(with window buttons on the left) on 9.10 for the past month or so and I must admit that I am still not used to this new configuration. I'm not sure it's such a good idea. on the other hand I think that they are trying to attract Mac users, maybe? Finally I would never perform an upgrade before exams!!! I've got my simulator next week and I absolutely require my notebook OS to be fully functional. I'll be performing a full clean upgrade of all my computers some time in the second week of May. This should give the Ubuntu teams time to weed out any initial bugs. Good Luck for your exams Anton. Alan.
