are you kidding? 9.04 was a disaster, absolutely unusable for
anyone with intel graphics, and for a lot of folks with ATI graphics as
well. Many performance issues with 9.04 and sqlite too.

As to your worries over the problems people have posted here - let's
just say there are people who are going to have problems no matter what.
You're missing all the reports about 9.10 from people that say "it
works" - so let me weigh in and say that 9.10 fixed all the issues I had
with 9.04. if you've got a 32 bit system 9.10 is a win - I've heard
there is some tweaking needed for 64 bit desktop apps, but that's a given.
