Ubuntu 12.10 Released, attacking Windows 8

Above the download button, a slogan appears urging the users to install Ubuntu 12.10 instead of Microsoft Windows 8, not because of Ubuntu’s superiority but just to avoid the drama of Metro UI. In a matter of fact, it says ???Avoid the pain of Windows 8. The all-new Ubuntu 12.10 is out now???.
