I would have upgraded to Karmic anyways no matter what it was labelled. But you know what, many people and most new people probably need the LTS. And you know what else, I have a hard time finding the LTS on Ubuntu.com. Should be a big sign for the LTS and a small link to Karmic for those of us who want it and have been following the countdown for months.
Google provides email to companies for day-to-day business and these businesses pay them. Google has an excellent reputation and is highly respected in the industry. How do you think the business image of Google changed during the major email blackouts for practically an entire business day for the customers affected? This is still 99%+ uptime, but if your company had to put off thousands of dollars worth of business for a day or even half a day, it would have you a bit worried. Same thing with a distro perceived to be not as stable as competing OSes. -Joseph
