Nothing wrong with kernel 3.2. If I had any serious gripe about this release it's the fact that it comes with XFCE 4.8. Since 4.10 released over a year ago, there's really no excuse for shipping a stable distro with the older version. Thankfully there are third party repos for thse of us who want to run stable, but with a reasonable version of XFCE.

Three things.

1. Just because you use a standard image, doesn't mean all passwords have to be the same. It's quite easy to generate a random password and have that password updated in a database or sent somewhere for retrieval with kickstart.

2. This is for Fedora. Anyone deploying Fedora in a work environment, needs to be fired immediately. It's in no way considered stable and it's supported for a total of 13 months from the day of it's release. That's not even close to a reasonable lifetime.

3. What in the actual fuck, does any of this, have to do with Windows or Genuine Advantage?

Yes! All we need is a train-ship-thing made of unobtainium and a motley crew of genius scientists and astronauts. To work it will be absolutely essential that the co-pilot is fairly hot but completely incompetent, and be banging one of the scientists by the end of the movi...err...expedition.

Sure. NOW there is. Give it a couple years. You know all those geeks that Shuttleworth decided to kick in the nuts and send packing? Those are the same guys who made the walk throughs for his pet retards to follow. It'll be interesting to see what happens as Ubuntu evolves all on it's lonesome now, without that support.

I'm not in this fight, as I care for neither Ubuntu nor Debian. However, I have a bone to pick with #2.

No, you don't get security updates until 2017. You get security updates only on packages that Canonical hand picked for that particular release. Hence, your dwm (or really it could be any WM/DE other than Unity) and any other packages that stray from that line, are absolutely left in the cold and unpatched, unloved as soon as next-new-shiny gets released.
