Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 Released - What's new?

"The third and final Alpha of the Lucid development cycle has been released this evening - but what can you expect to find inside?

"Music Store

"Although the music store is scheduled to land in Alpha 3 most signs point to it being kept underwraps for a few more days. Factor this in with the postponed "big" announcement which would have likely touched upon the Canonical/7Digital partnership and all roads lead to 'not yet'-ville.

"Plymouth

"Pretty much everyone should now see a Plymouth powered boot screen during boot up as the open-source Nouveau driver has now been included - and enabled - by default for Nvidia users. ATi and Intel users already have KMS support."
