No problems here! (Score 1)

I am surprised by this article. I have installed and upgraded a few machines to Karmic and this had been on of the best releases since Gutsy. Ever since they had pulseaudio included by default in Hardy I had issues with new releases, specifically with pulseaudio. Hardy and Janty was the most painful and Intrepid caused much less pain. Janty had issues with pulseaudio and then issues with the Intel video drivers which made it a much worse release than Karmic. As far as new releases of Ubuntu go I am happy with Karmic.
