Ubuntu Upgrade Update

Did the online upgrade and it worked great this time. The only snags I hit were that it removed Parallels (that's OK, it didn't really work like I wanted it to work--namely letting me use the Windows install/partition already on the computer) and Skype (less OK but not the end of the world).

Ultimately it's pretty impressive that the Ubuntu project stays on its mark and meets its deadlines for new releases, then allows you to upgrade to the newest version of the OS via an online download. That's something Microsoft or Apple have never done.
