Softpedia announced it after midnight last night but you can't get to it through the main site. Somebody posted a link to one of the mirrors http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/linuxmint/stable/12/ Here are some highlights of this release..

1) A full month of bug-fixes to the Ubuntu 11.10 base

2) Instead of Unity or vanilla GNOME 3, they extended the GNOME Shell to feel more like a desktop operating system and not something made for tablets

3) They also included MATE, which is a fork of GNOME 2.x, but if MGSE (Mint GNOME Shell Extensions) are as good as the reviews say they are, it may end up being a dead end

4) A distribution that listens to its users instead of pushing unwanted crap on them. No wonder they took the #1 spot from Canonical (Ubuntu)

P.S. Windows users are not exempt from tablet interfaces. Windows 8 is also majorly dumbed down.
 
Why does Linux feel like running DOS to me?
 
That awkward moment when you realize that you're the only one who knows what you're talking about
 
Honestly after running linux since 2.2 days I came to realize it's not "all that". The only reason it's somewhat more stable than windows is because most users can't really install a bunch of crap on it. Kinda like a macs. Once you start messing with it it becomes second job. Once KDE 4 came around and even XFCE became bloated Windows 7 became a much better choice for me.
