I'm very excited about the new upcoming release “Hardy Heron” because they have added new features to this already powerful OS. While the current version of Ubuntu(Gutsy 7.10) is solid it lacks certain little things such as a better remote desktop application to connect to other PCs remotely whether is a Linux or Windows PC. Also there are a number of things that can be improved in Nautilus(File Manager). Well the great thing about this new release is that they are addressing some of the above mentioned issues and then some.
From the information I have gathered out there on the web it seems that they are going to make it more flexible in terms or running applications with certain credentials and to be able to run a pre-installed virtualization application called KVM. Also the CD burning application(Serpentine) is being tossed and replaced by Brasero(Screen Shots) as the default CD burning application. For web file downloading they have added the new Bit Torrent client and Fire Fox 3 will also be included which gives you better security and web browsing enhancements. In the sound department we will see Pulse Audio Server(What is Pulse Audio?) installed by deafult.
On the Security side Hardy will now include an actual GUI to configure your internal firewall although it can be easily done through the command line (terminal) now. (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewall).
