As you can very well see in the video, it kicks in really late, probably because x-server starts late. How are they going to implement this is a mystery to me, coz x-server has always been sluggish to begin. Xsplash is very interesting.

That's no different from the experience on Windows, AFAIK. Possibly a little bit easier, since last time I tried it, I was directed to the Adobe download page to manually install.Other codecs which can't be shipped but can be stored in the repos are offered to the user when trying to play such media. There are a few things, including DVD decryption, which require additional repositories. Unfortunate and unavoidable, that is. The situation's about as good as it possibly can be.

Anything that's good for the newbies is good for Ubuntu as a whole, and Linux in general.Now if Canonical would go the extra route and either preinstall proprietary codecs or at least pop up a notification that informs users of why they can't view their Youtube videos or play their DVDs and what they can do about it, that would be great.Wubi Migration is the biggest thing here, IMHO. Wine integration and the migration assistant round out the top usability apps here. Indeed. Anything that’s good for the newbies is good for Ubuntu as a whole, and Linux in general.

Great article. But I'm just wondering where you're getting all of this information regarding new features in Karmic. Besides your article, the blogosphere is mum on user-level usability enhancements like these. The article on Phronoix that you list as a source really only mentions XSplash being used for boot. Hi.
