With the release of Ubuntu 10.10 just around the corner, what new features are you looking forward to? Are there exciting new programs available in the repositories? Has that bug that's been bothering you for the last few releases finally fixed? Why should I upgrade from 10.04? Make the case!

Sometimes, the release notes are a bit dry and technical. Let's find out what the community thinks are the most compelling features of the new release. This is meant in the spirit of "fun Fridays." I hope others find it appropriate.

Improved Netbook interface!

If the Beta is anything to go by they can keep the new Netbook interface. The new interface really destroyed my liking for Ubuntu. – Diago Oct 9 '10 at 13:22

The new font is really good. The boot time hasn't so much improved. Really good is that installed deb files are now organized within the Ubuntu Software Center.

Faster boot times.

I didn't think boot times had been improved much in Maverick... hopefully I'm wrong :D – fluteflute Oct 9 '10 at 7:25
Is it? My maverick boots slower than Lucid did! – Bilal Akhtar Oct 9 '10 at 13:17

Shame on me, but I'm looking forward to StackApplet (created by myself). This is the first thing I've ever made that's found its way into the official repositories.

Seriously, I'm looking forward to more organization (panel, menus, etc.).

I am looking forward to the new system font! :)

The new sound menu, the new font, the improved software center, upgraded packages (ofcourse!), the Ubuntu extras repository (I'd like to see how well it goes), to name a few. :)

I like the new Sound Menu, and the my ATI graphics card seems to work better in Maverick than Lucid. It also seems to be generally faster, and I love the new Ubuntu Font! Also the new Software Center with History!
