They say first impressions count and Maverick has certainly taken that to heed with its redesigned slideshow to play during installation.

Do note that many of the images/text in these slides are still place holders, not final, are there for testing and/or remain to be updated.

Each of the slides is colourful, informative and – perhaps most importantly in my mind – demonstrative. That is, they show the Ubuntu desktop/apps/features in question actually in action.  This is a great way to familiarise newcomers to the style and layout of Ubuntu right from the get-go.
