"Avoid the pain of Windows 8." Well done Canonical..well done. Here's a nice alternative for those having problems with the site. http://releases.ubuntu.com/quantal/
Stabbing others in the back is no way to behave, especially when they're pumping what the user types in the launcher straight at amazon and closing bugs when people complain that their launcher commands are showing inappropriate images.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-lens-shoppin... Make sure you disable the shopping lens before searching in public. Amazon searches can be NSFW! Don't search for analyze in a school or Saudi Arabia. I think that this is unacceptable default behaviour but currently seems to be a WON'T FIX.
I'm a little confused. I don't see a change log. I also don't see an easy way to upgrade from 12.04 which is what I currently run. Do I need to do a full reinstall? Am I missing something? (probably)
It wasn't showing up in update manager for me on 12.04 LTS. Fire up Terminal and run 'update-manager -d' and it should show up.

Stay classy Canonical...
And say hello to the pain of not finding suitable drivers for half your devices.

Nowadays, I've found that I can install Ubuntu on more laptops and desktops and get better driver support from the initial install than even Windows can in many cases.
With Windows, I've had to scrounge around for drivers and pray they're compatible with Windows 8 Professional 64bit Premium Plus Bonus edition on the same laptops.

This is a cliched reply that would be appropriate a few years ago.

No official Google Drive[0] support (but we do have Dropbox)

So you are saying Windows 8 is bad means backstabbing Microsoft? Everyone seems to be doing that lately. As far as I know they're not sending the requests directly to Amazon and there are currently 2 ways to disable that. Have you tried disabling metro ? Good luck with that. Also Dash no longer displays adult content from Amazon.
