He only tested desktops, as well, so he doesn't know about the wireless. As of 6.10 setting up wireless is still a bit annoying, but 7.04 has wireless roaming installed and enabled by default to make it install-and-go much faster. The last improvement that comes readily to mind is the presence of a metapackage in the Add/Remove screen which installs all the proprietary codecs so you don't have to use ubuntuguide or hunt around for all the necessary parts.
