The Ubuntu Quality Assurance team had earlier created a survey to gather feedback from users regarding differen issues in Ubuntu operating system. The results are out, published in Ubuntu Orange Notebook blog and here are some interesting findings.

To a majority of users, quality means default desktop and applications should work without crashing. This is expected as most users use Ubuntu for doing critical work and need a hell stable platform. To the next question, around 10% of voters say that everything in Ubuntu is perfect. 10% of the users hate design and polish of Ubuntu (Unity?) while a majority of them say that apps are not stable enough and hardware support is lacking.

You can have a look at detailed results here. Ubuntu Precise is currently the long term support version of Ubuntu and Canonical is doing its best to make it stable and give a support for 5 years.
