I suspect you'll be positively shocked in a Apr24. From what I've read in 
the media, things have improved vastly on some major areas, and some bug 
reports I've been following indicate that most of the issues I've had 
with 7.10 will be resolved in 8.04..

Kudos to @ubuntu and @canonical, and welcome to the guild. Please read on 
properly reporting bugs and do so as often as you encounter them, so we 
can get it even better.
