Nice to hear this from you JP, I'm using 9.04 but was waiting for a opinion about the 9.10. Did you upgraded version from update manager or reinstalled? Because from 8.0 to 9.04 I had problems to simple upgrade, but reinstall worked good.
Ubuntu 9.10

I upgraded my desktop with the RC and my netbook with the finally release. When I first booted it I was very impressed! It's so slick, polished and fast! Huge improvement over jaunty! It's really fast on my netbook! Agreed Ubuntu 9.10 rocks!!!

I recommend to anyone thinking of upgrading to do a reinstall instead of a upgrade form the update manager. It seems a lot of people been having trouble with the upgrading to 9.10 with the update manager.
Thanks Mattew!
Yea, I always recommend people to fresh install. For every release, since the very first that implemented upgrade over the internet, which I don't remember which was, people have reported system crashes, data loss and all kinds of problems with drivers.
But fresh installs have always worked fine.
I have upgraded to it since alpha 5. It works fine but there is some problem with mounting usb flash drives. i think it is because of upgrades.
I am planning to do a fresh install today. I have been upgrading since 8.10 :)

Using it right now! I upgraded over the internet (yes-a fresh install usually is best, but I've had luck doing it this way and find it easier when there's time!)
I still have a couple of boxes to go...
COOL! Fresh installed and working very good! You was right JP, it rocks! 
Nothing is really better. It does everything if did before just as well. The improvements are on things non-functional... For example, boot is like 20 seconds faster (on my notebook, it varies), the notification system is smarter, new default instant messenger. I mean, the differences are subtle, and do not impact the day-to-day use, that's what I mean by non-functional.
So, anyone tried it?
I'm using it right now, and man, it rocks! Almost everything else worked out of the box, and even what didn't I could fix almost immediately with a few commands or clicks!
How was your experience?
