Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)

Of course, this is the release that changes the desktop interface around quite a lot. I'm a bit hesitant, although this answer in the FAQ was soothing:

No problem at all. You can choose to launch the classic desktop experience when you log in to your computer.

Not sure if this really means that the choice has to be re-made on every login, or if is remembered. Anyone?

As I use my Ubuntu desktop to actually get work done, I'm quite terrified about installing this release.

I'm not sure I'll upgrade for a while yet, I want to find out what the general consensus is first.

It's remembered. (I have been running it since beta 2 on my work computer.)

It remembers. My laptop can't run Unity so I've been running the beta in classic mode, only needed to select it once.

Both the launcher and the dash are awesome. Takes very little time to get used to.
