On a related note to my GNOME3 point (From the Fedora 17 Alpha release notes) [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_17_Alpha_release_notes http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_17_Alpha_release_notes] "The Miracle includes GNOME 3.4 and KDE 4.8. There is also a rendering improvement to let more users, even those with older hardware, enjoy the GNOME shell goodness" I really hope that this GNOME 3.4 improvement is an upstream improvement, and if it isn't, that Fedora submits a patch upstream so that other distributions can benefit from this. Linux Mint GNOME would be an option for my laptop if it wasn't for the GPU limitations.
