I'm thinking of upgrading several machines.
I upgraded my laptop to 8.04 from 7.10 and don't know if the upgrade left the system at a broken state because of a local fault (I didn't stay to watch it when it failed, and my wife may have drained the battery), special setup (I use LVM) or simply because it's screwed. I ended up re-installing from an image of rc1 and this is what I now have on the laptop (I wanted the upgrade because of Firefox 3 and Evolution which can actually talk to an Exchange server). My desktop shows the upgrade button and starts it but just fails after a long time and gets back to 7.10, so that's where it is right now. A colleague who tried 7.10 because the Vista that he got with his brand new laptop just Didn't Work (TM) was happy with it but when he tried to upgrade nothing worked. I hope I won't loose another Windows->Linux convert because of this. So my conclusion for now - you might be better off waiting a little until the wrinkles are sorted out.
