Oh yeah..
and what's new:
-The new installer will move all of your stuff from the "My Documents" folder if you're switching from Windows XP (you can choose what goes and what stays...wallpaper, bookmarks, music, pics (I don't know if Vista is supported))
-Wireless roaming is set up by default
-Much faster bootup time
-Compiz (3d desktop) installed (but disabled) by default (Beryl is now in the repos)
-Restricted Drivers Manager to get ATi and nVidia and wireless cards working easily
-Easy codec installation

These are mainly aimed at new-installs, but the bootup time, Compiz, and driver manager make things easier for people who have already switched too.
