Disappointed with Ubuntu 11.04 beta

I recently upgraded my primary laptop from Ubuntu 10.10 to Ubuntu 11.04 beta (http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/natty/beta).  I love GNOME (http://www.gnome.org/) and was weary at first about the switch to Unity (http://unity.ubuntu.com/), but after reading more about it I was excited to give the new Unity interface a try.  Instead of getting to play with the new interface, I was greeted with black bars where the Unity menus and dock should have been:

I am now forced to login to the "Ubuntu Classic" mode until more updates come out that fix my issue.  I really like Ubuntu and was very disappointed that my video card was not supported.  Here's to hoping that gets fixed soon!  If it isn't fixed, I may switch to the new GNOME 3: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/gnome-3-released-to-be-available-for-ubuntu-11-04-via-ppa/
