Aren't you being a bit harsh here?  For one thing thanks to the  
generosity of Mark Shuttleworth and Debian, Ubuntu has, and probably  
always will be free.  If you want to pay £90.00 for a windows upgrade,  
go right ahead.

A few teething troubles should be expected, which I'm sure will be  
sorted out in an update shortly.  I personally feel a 6 month release  
cycle to be a bit daft.
