Number 1 Pete church you'd die a flaming death being dragged over the
threshold ;)

New stuff.
Top right is a presence indicator that double as a user switcher and log
out/switch off.  It also has a guest feature for if you have a visitor
who asks to access their email.

Although not available from live install there is a simple install of an
encrypted folder.  This is great for keeping all your private stuff for
transfer across networks etc.  Also it ties it's password into your
login so it is available the minute you start your session.

Greatly improved imap support in evolution (next release promises to be
better still)

Rhythmbox is greatly improved and is now the default ripper.  Also
last.fm plugin has been updated to the new and improved version.

Likewise AD is available from main mean you should (I've not tried it)
be able to plugin to ad as though it were your standard machine.

Totem comes with youtube and bbc plugins nice

You can drop the iso as an install to usbstick by using usb creator

under the hood

Gio/Gvfs is greatly improved this enables near seamless access to
machines across networks.

Pulseaudio is far better and covers most apps now.

Memory usage is down by about 40% (for me at least)

And others that I can't be bothered to go into.

If you want to know more beg ;)
