looks cool...am set for upgrade this April

i think it dont have any major changes,
is it necessary to upgrade to 9.04.?

Well i will from 8.04 to 9.04, it has ext4 support, tabbed nautilus, latest apps...thats enough for me to upgrade.

There isnt much for an upgrade. I think ill stick to intreprid ibex untill the koala is out

It has Openoffice 3.0.1

well the new kernel and ext4 support has made me to use it since Alpha 3.

is there any real-time benefit to the end-user using of ext4 file system instead ext3.. ?
i dont know much about ext4 file system..
