Yep, but that's all standard stuff.. XGL just made it prettier.
I was using multiple workspaces in various window managers years ago.. I just didn't have a cube rotating and taking longer than an instant to get me to my desired workspace
XGL/Compiz is very nice.. when I was showing people at Uni it.. every single person said it's very neat.. it's just got the wow factor, but it didn't improve my productivity at all (infact, it made it worse.. I just wobbled windows all day and made the cube rotate at high speed :rasp
Ya got me wrong, Ive been using windows managers with multiple desktops for years aswell, but ive never really found them usefull until xgl just moving windows between desktops is so much easier and better. It takes longer (by what 0.3 of a second ?) but it also (in my head anyway) makes me able to organise the desktop better as you can see physically see it moving to the other desktop.
Its deffinatly a wow factor when you see it the first time.. and I agree first time I used it I just spent all day wobbling live videos playing, and making them sticky to stuff

yea, I guess that's the joy of using Linux - you can work how you want pretty easily. If it works for you.. then it's the best thing ever
Anyway, wobbly windows > *

Coz i'm using them all. lol.
Its PDS, which is a highway design package which 'bolts on' to AutoCAD. Which means there is a shitload of commands to remember. so just clicking the button makes things easier.

To be honest not much different to Dapper.
Gnome 2.16, Boot up and shutdown is faster, art work is different, themes now support rounded windows, built in AIGLX is handy but apart from updated programs it's pretty much the same. There's probably a few other things that I've forgotten / don't use though. Oh and it comes with FF 2.0.
When I first read Marks hopes for Edgy about it being bleeding edge and all it sounded really exciting but the reality is it's nothing amazing when compared to Dapper.
I don't know if you have an Ubuntu install already but going by people's experiences it's best to do a clean install as the upgrade process has caused people a few headaches.
It is very stable though, I've not had anything freak out on me and I installed it a month before release.

You got all 3 installed (Gnome / KDE / XFCE)? Personally I prefer Gnome.
