I'm running the Live CD in a VMWare Fusion VM, and it just goes to Unity 2D, so I'm guessing that a lot more hardware will see Unity in one form or other with this release.

Tried it on Nvidia 6200, initially all looked well. But something died with the desktop. Also compiz was constantly stealing about 8% of a 2GHZ cpu. So I reverted to 2D. Which was pretty similar - albeit for a few of the transitions. It was missing drag to top - to full screen, but you can double click the window bar instead.

What I was trying to say with the above post. Was you get a little extra gloss with Unity3D, but it's not over the top. And the 2D fallback isn't miles away.

I have noticed that 2D does look uglier in places - like modal popups - that are not at all in keep with the rest of the interface. Which reminds me of the kde shutdown window - which is also fugly.
