Ubuntu 9.10 -> Ubuntu 10.04

Upgraded to 10.04 yesterday, had a little time to mess around today, I like it so far and even moving the windows controls doesn't seem bad. Just the issue of it being on the left in Ubuntu and on the right with Windows. I'm sure it will be annoying soon but I'll still try.

Only problem so far was skype not working, just needed to reinstall:

For 32-bit
$ wget http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-ubuntu-32
For 64-bit
$ wget http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-ubuntu-64

You will need to install the following libraries.
$ sudo apt-get install libqt4-dbus libqt4-network libqt4-xml
Now install skype(the file u just downloaded, may be named intrepid-ibex)
$ sudo dpkg -i skype-XXXXXXXXXXXX.deb
Taken from here.
