I guess everybody has experienced the rather long boot up times in Ubuntu (particularly with laptops). I know they are already working on it, but the change from feisty to gutsy was a pain in the ass in terms of boot up speed.
A default WinXP installation beats Ubuntu's boot up time by far!! That shouldn't be allowed fellas!!

I therefore propose to the development team (both Ubuntu and by extension Gnome)to work on the improvement of boot up times in Ubuntu systems.

Suspend and hibernate still seems to be a big issue based on forum posts. Really focus on fixing it, even with proprietary drivers.

Diskette is an anachronism and most children haven't seen one in their entire lives.

Some (most?) printer manufacturers still don't make printer drivers for Linux, or just for a few models or low quality drivers. This make people running into trouble when migrating to Linux. There is a program called ddiwrapper (developed by SUSE) that can use the XP drivers in Linux to make printing to unsupported printers possible (at the moment only Canon drivers seem to work). Of course support as much printers as possible!
