13.10 makes an excellent test harness for folks evaluating Ubuntu as an alternative to XP; the availability of 14.04 in April means that fresh LTS installs can take place upon the effective expiration of XP maintenance. My recommendation to business users considering the move from XP to Ubuntu would be:
* evaluate 13.10 for usability and performance on your hardware * evaluate 14.04 beta to refine your perspective * if Ubuntu meets your needs, move to large-scale installation two weeks after the 14.04 LTS release The 14.04.1 point release will contain only roll-ups of fixes that will be delivered directly to 14.04 LTS users in any event, so there is not much value in waiting for that if the 14.04 LTS installation process and desktop work well on your hardware. Our focus for 14.04 LTS is stability, performance and key items like high-DPI support for modern displays. Mark
