Did anyone else notice that the webbrowser in the tour works? You can enter new urls, click around - even form submission works.

Try opening the Dash (top icon on the left) and you can browse apps. That's a really cool demo!

Edit: You can also read and write (but not send) emails in Thunderbird, and emails you write show up in the "Sent" box.

It's slightly deceptive; the browser is just an embedded frame that uses your browsers rendering engine. Hopefully nobody using IE tries to use this to check site compatibility.

You can also browse file and open pictures and videos. No terminal app though. :)

The tour doesn't really fit on my 1366x768 screen (running Firefox 7). Not a good first impression.

Very clever idea. Couple of spelling mistakes in Ubuntu One, but pretty slick otherwise.

Still the gamers theme, though :(

Even cooler - you can install software in the software centre, and then find it in Unity. Remove it, and it's gone.
