I'm sure that the new version of Ubuntu will be great, like most new releases are, but for the extra 50 MB of space, I feel like they could've cut back on some new features that take up more space. One of the things that has always defined Ubuntu was its ability to be burned onto a CD instead of a DVD or USB flash drive. It was nice to be able to use a CD rather than a DVD because of how much cheaper they are, granted that one DVD isn't going to create and financial issues for anybody. Sometimes it can get difficult to make a USB bootable as well. I just think that it would've been better to stick with the traditional CD install; it was one of the things they could proclaim on their website that made it even more appealing.
