To Whom It May Concern,
I find the latest release of your new operating system most unimpressive.
Today I 'upgraded' to your newest Gutsy Gibbon and was perturbed to see
that my desktop wallpaper did not change. Furthermore, all my windows
started to wobble. Is this a problem with my graphics d
Do we automatically get these updates in Gutsy? Or do -proposed and/or

Virgin's server seems too slow. I would guess that it is configured to give
priority to those who use Virgin as their ISP.
Hi,
