Quite important:

The much misunderstood Ubuntu 9.10 upgrade poll
[...]
I upgraded to 9.10 a while ago. Flawlessly. So I saw little need to go tell a
forum. This is where people go when they have problems. Gavin and Serdar were
shocked to find people with support issues on a support forum. I have no doubt
the help line at Microsoft has taken a lot of calls recently, but I would not
extrapolate from that a large percentage of Windows users are having upgrade
problems.
Tellingly and almost the last word on this are the polls from our previous
releases, none of which were considered or reported as upgrade disasters:
Jaunty Poll
Intrepid Poll `
Hardy Poll
Gutsy Poll
A very useful summary of these findings by Nicholas Ipsen is here. I am linking
to these polls not because I want to provide evidence that the Karmic upgrade
experience is or was good or bad, there are other more qualified to comment on
that, but that there is nothing new here.

The slurs started coming from known Microsoft boosters like Gavin Clarke.
It's almost as though Microsoft is working its Vista 7 propaganda machine
in reverse -- against the company which only in its last SEC filing it named
as "a risk".
The attacks from Microsoft Munchkins (in COLA, mostly against Ubuntu 9.10) I
view as a good sign; the trolls are nervous, Microsoft is sacking employees, and
I am shy to post as much as I do to COLA, but there is just SO much good news
for FOSS and Linux (only about 5% of my posts are about Windows and Microsoft).
I try hard to group the news items so as to contain all the success stories
without excessive clutter.
The more angry the trolls get about it (and pretending that there is dissent,
using sockpuppets), the more effective these posts must be.
My posts are on topic and simple to filter for those who are not interested in
news.
