Bond, Desi Bond!
If you are having ATI graphics on your system, you better do a clean install alongside exising install, test and make sure that the GUI is working fine.

installed...feels gud...no issues with the ati drivers..but the new unity interface is kind of buggy..if u do some kind of customizations in compiz config manager, chances are that the whole interface will go haywire and will end up in reseting the unity. There should have been option for gnome3.

Installed. I dont like the unity interface. very confusing as we are used to old GNOME desktop. I think some bugs were there. I added Google chrome to side bar but clicking it does not open it, just icon animation is shown.

Installed edubuntu desktop (specially for children), and we are back to old GNOME desktop.

One thing I must say here. We are used to the GNOME interface and the new UNITY interface given in Natty Narwhal is sill buggy.

Also Natty Narwhal uses the Linux 2.6.38 kernel, which means it still suffers from "Power Bug" causing excessive power consumption.

Classic Gnome fans, fear not. You can still use standard Gnome in Ubuntu 11.04 if Unity is not your bag.

To change to traditional Gnome, logout and then after clicking on your username, select Ubuntu Classic Desktop at the bottom of the login screen.

Install GNOME 3 on Ubuntu 11.04

Open the terminal and run the following commands

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell


That's it! GNOME 3 is now completely installed in your Ubuntu machine. All you have to do now is to reboot your system and choose Ubuntu GNOME Shell Desktop at the login screen.

Enjoy your new GNOME 3 desktop environment!

unity sucks, gnome is tons better. i cant wait for gnome 3 to release.
err just cuz it is not ur cup of tea doesnt mean it "sucks" :|

unity is good but will take time to mature.

note for everyone...installing gnome 3 in ubuntu will break unity. so decide upon only one of them.

If I open a PDF document in Unity, it doesn't go into the background, does it? On my 10" Netbook, that's a huge problem. It's already pretty difficult to read PDFs on it.

So, should i upgrade from 10.10 or not ?
HELL YEAH! Upgrade to 11.04 and if you hate unity switch to gnome classic : *scottlinux.com/2011/03/05/ubuntu-11-04-change-from-unity-to-classic-gnome/

Edit:
You can even use Gnome 3 in ubuntu 11.04 (But you won't be able to downgrade to Unity again or use it side-by-side with gnome 3, because gnome 3 ppa breaks unity session.
