The process took around 4+ hours.
I have used Hardy Heron, then Jaunty and now the new Koala. They all have been a pleasant surprise with visible betterments. The invisible betterments I will not know about since, I donot do much below the surface activities (I mean coding and stuff :p).
Some new features with this version of Ubuntu:
- Login screen gives the option to choose the computers language, keyboard style and session. The colours are also different, I like this new Black look!
- Browsing speed of the computer is faster than with the previous versions including windows I think. I can easily get used to this :)
- Hard drive notifications. I am getting a 'hard drive is failing' notification. This is good cause anyway the drive was failing but previous OS's did not give me a notification.
- Wall papers are many and vivid, making it a whole lot more user friendly!
- Music feature:
I don't know whether this was or was not there in the previous version I never noticed it. If I take my cursor next to a mp3 music file a little bubble appears. If I keep my cursor on the bubble, the music starts playing! This playing happens only until the cursor is on the bubble.
Cool!
All in all very happy with the Karma :)

Liked the fact that you mentioned some of the most apparent features for everyday users. Nice review for those of us contemplating going down the Ubutnu path.
I can only mention those features.. as I said I don't do coding or anything! ;p
