I noticed that the same laptop which gave me Ubuntu Bluetooth grief a couple of years ago now works fine with a clean install, Bluetooth included. I also noticed how Ubuntu 9.10 has moved ahead of Windows in several areas. More here

Still, Ubuntu is a fantastic deal, especially with Ubuntu One included.
