The "Switch User" option isn't necessary, as the menu acts as a user switcher itself - it lists the local users, and you can click on one of them to start or change to that user's session.
We already do have an 'apt' protocol, and have had for several releases now. Clicking a link to 'apt:somepackage' will ask if you want to install 'somepackage'.
Ubiquity (the desktop CD installer) will leave an existing/home on / if you tell it not to format, so there's little reinstallation benefit to having a separate partition.
Multi-monitor almost always works fine with the Intel and ATI drivers. The nvidia blob still doesn't support XRandR 1.2, so you have to use their thpecial control panel, which tends to break things.
I thought my three outputs (internal LCD, VGA and TV) worked fine after a few clicks in System->Preferences->Screen Resolution. I must have been imagining those images. Thanks for telling me I was hallucinating. The NVIDIA binary driver doesn't yet support this (RandR 1.2), but I believe most of the rest do.
In Australia, Optus' lower cable plans (those = 1GB, there are only two above that) are limited from ~10Mbps to 28.8kbps when the download limit is exceeded. The higher plans are limited to 64kbps once the limit is reached.
There are two cable providers. Telstra is one of them, and Optus' service isn't a whole lot better. Nothing else is particularly viable, as far as I know.

That's not right - Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 have OpenSSH 5.1. Ubuntu 8.04 has 4.7.

The desktop CD has never contained the actual package files, so it has never been possible to upgrade from it.
Jaunty has always used 2.6.28 - never 2.6.29.

system-cleaner is no longer installed by default, but for other less sinister reasons.
That's very dangerous; Ubuntu 7.04 is no longer supported with security updates. I strongly advise that you upgrade ASAP.
Neither Ubuntu 8.04 nor 8.10 will ever get Firefox 3.1.
We community developers don't get a mention? Keep in mind that not all Ubuntu developers are employed by Canonical.

Not quite - input hotplug is separate from MPX. We might not even see MPX in 9.04, but we'll see how things go.
No, it is just a different default package set (and a slightly differently configured installer). The kernel flavours are just more packages.

Evince in GNOME 2.20 (released a couple of days ago) will be in Ubuntu 7.10 and various other distros in the next few months, and supports PDF forms.
