The new look and feel desktop is HORRIBLE in my not so humble opinion. 
Within three minutes I had set it back to human-clearlooks.  David's 
reaction was the same.  My suggestion on that front would be "stop 
messing around with pointless re-branding and get on with something useful."

It is amazing how much has been written about the new themes and the movement of buttons from right to left and in Ubuntu 10.04, or me it has never been a biggie.  If the look and feel in not to your liking then you have the option of changing it and at least Ubuntu gives you the option of putting the buttons where you want them and in whatever order you want. People hated the old default theme and people will hate the new one you are never going to have 100% of people satisfied with a look.

I have done two fresh installs so far of 32bit 10.04, one on my Toshiba U200 laptop and the second on a generic desktop 'clone' both have gone without any problems with the exception of the desktop which for some reason needed a reboot to see the network card 'properly'.

With regards to another recent post regarding SiS graphics card drivers there are Linux equivalents available, from memory they can be downloaded direct from www.sis.com
