I've been playing with 3.2 a bit today an F16. The F16 installer is a trainwreck - crashes if an old disk has a partial raid array on it, then crashes when you try and report the crash. Try again and it decides my install options contain a conflict, go back to fix it and it hangs. It eats 750MB of memory yet it *still* can't even manage to do basic 'Guess my location/locale' stuff using geolocation tools. The desktop is looking rather better than before. The dock and some of the extensions actually turn it roughly back into a desktop and the transitions and planning for the most part are smooth. Some of the most annoying bits of behaviour seem to have been tidied up. Yet to try it on a big display however. A big display really really needs things like application menus on the backdrop right click to avoid all the mouse waving in Gnome 3 (and indeed Gnome 2 defaults). It's a pity they are still desperately trying to hide the extensions in the default install. Granted some of them don't work, they conflict with each other and the design is far inferior to the Gnome 2 applets but it's heading the right way, and some of the other style and design work is certainly better than Gnome 2. The Gnome extensions web site is also designed to help this process - but I suspect because they way all the extensions seem to fight each other it'll be a rough ride initially. Performance seems a bit better but it ought to be given it's running off SSD. I still think the biggest mistake was calling it "Gnome". It's something quite different and they'd have upset a lot less people if they'd not tried to pretend it was the same experience as Gnome.
