[#1]

It has hit the mirrors, officially released tomorrow.

[#2]

It doesn't appear to be different from Mint 13. 

[#3]

And this is bad how? 
It has the latest versions of everything included. Mate 1.6, Cinnamon 2.0 etc.
It also breaks severely awn  Even with the new patched version I can't get 2 docks on screen.

[#4]

It's not especially bad to be same as something as something that works well.
I don't use awn. 

[#5]

I've been an awn fan for several years now. But it looks like I will have to try one of the others, don't like docky so trying cairo-dock but not too impressed at the mo, you need to have n separate config files if you want to add the same applet to multiple docks.

[#6]

Another bug:
wine will not install on 64bit systems. 
Crossover 12 works but had to install some additional libs, luckily they tell you what is needed 

[#7]

Wine issue fixed, Clem added an ia32-libs package to replace the one that Ubuntu had removed. I had issues caused by multiple failed fixes, but a wipe and re-install fixed that.
Running happily on my system at the moment. (Mate edition still don't like Cinnamon)

[#8]

But who still runs 32 bit applications?
It was a gigantic kludge when Ubuntu added 64 bit libs AND 32 bit libs.

[#9]

Most of the M$ apps are - so for wine I need them. Kindle for pc for example.

[#10]

Linux Mint 16 (no longer RC) is now available.
