I played with it, everything seemed to be pretty stable on my ThinkPad.

My one comment about it is that I didn't really like the new Unity
interface.  While its a massive step forward theoretically (my first
degree is in Cognitive Psychology with Software Engineering and I used
to specialise in GUI development) it is just such a radical departure
from what I'm used to that I wasn't willing to make the investment in
changing the way I do things even though in the long-term I'll be more
productive.  There used to be a technical term for users like me,
"resistive old b**tards".
