Two things: On the sourceforge PinguyOS site the following is in the description.

1)
Quote
Pinguy OS is just an optimise build of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

I'd delete the word "just" as it makes the optimizations sound trivial. That could probably be said about Mint but Pinguy OS is more of a complete overhaul of Ubuntu. 

2) The global menu.

The first thing I did was remove the global menu. I have a 22" monitor and hardly ever use maximized windows.  When working with multiple windows, it's a lot of unnecessary travelling between bringing a window into focus and then getting to the menu. I originally came to Linux from Mac and the non-global menus was like a breath of fresh air.  That's just my opinion though. Maybe most people prefer it.
