What was interesting was the "better than ever tablet support".
With all due respect, it could hardly be worse.
I'm guessing that what that really means is that they've progressed beyond "what's a tablet?" to "ok, we think we know what a tablet is... we added a tablet-looking icon!"
Sadly, I think Linux-in-general is about 5 years behind both Windows and OS X for tablet support. The really sad part of that? Apple doesn't even *make* a tablet. (Although, to be fair, they have a lot of users on Wacom drawing tablets, and that code I'm sure has come in handy for the iPhone. But still.)
Comment of the year
Fuck off. The western world does not consist of the USA. Europe doesn't have software patents. And Fedora is supposed to be a bleeding edge distro, not one with 3 years of support - how many times does this have to be repeated ?
