I upgraded from ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 on my T60 and the upgrade did fail, however I have everything synchronized on ubuntu one so nothing was lost. I installed 11.04 and was amazed at how well ubuntu one is intergrated into the OS. Now I am a huge fan of ubuntu one. I have also become a huge fan of unity. I love at how fast I can search, just press the super-L key and start typing. My files and applications appear immediately. I also like that all I have to do to launch an application from the dock is to again press the super-L key and the number of the application. It's simple and fast and I love keyboard shortcuts. I thought I would miss gnome but noooooo. Everything works on this thinkpad so far and works better than any previous ubuntu edition.
If you want something like windows go to KDE.

I'm about to try this (XP to 11.04)... I am just worried about the docking situation and whether it works ok!
I guess only one way to find out!

Ubuntu 11.10 will be even further, good source of articles is here:
http://omgubuntu.co.uk/
GDM login screen will be replaced with this Unity Greeter:

Unity will be improved to the Unity Dash:

* Synaptic package manager will be removed, Ubuntu Software Center will be used instead only
* Pitivi video editor will be removed from the live CD compilation
* Déja Dup backup software will be added to the live CD compilation
I would also expect that ATI open source graphics drivers will be slightly improved (features + performance) because AMD/ATI has recently released specifications about theirs new and legacy graphics chips so the driver's developers can build more quality drivers now.

I've heard similar raves about the program gnome-do. So perhaps people do not have to abandon
gnome so quickly for this feature!
