I was testing Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 Alpha 3 and have found that it does not fall back to a 2D interface if 3D fails like UNE 10.04 did. This means that any hardware that doesn't support 3D graphics will not be usable with Ubuntu Netbook Edition.
This can be reproduced by booting the netbook edition ISO in an environment that only supports 2D graphics such as within VirtualBox and choosing "Try Ubuntu Netbook 10.10". You are brought to a blank wallpaper with no error message, no fallback to 2D mode, or fallback to the standard Gnome Desktop.
