Whoa, this was a month ago?! :o
I pondered doing this myself before UIF, but I wasn't really feeling it. I'm going to start a discussion on the appropriate mailing list for this. It should just be a few new — and short — strings, so I don't think it will harm the translations if we get something by the 31st.

I added some CSS rules for slides to have full-width images, though that
isn't used anywhere yet. This way we can have an image that is strongly
associated with a slide's text, which would be particularly useful for
numbered callouts in the Unity slide. (I'm picturing something that
points out the menu bar, launcher and Ubuntu button).

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I'm doing a desktop install test of Natty and was looking through the
  slide show and I realized that there is not a single slide warning
  users that they're about to be faced with a desktop system that no one
  has ever really used before.

  Unity on netbooks doesn't really count as I think this impacts a far
  greater number of first time users and will make for a rather
  unpleasant experience.

  Honestly, I've been using Ubuntu for years and even I have a hard time
  using Unity.  I can't even being to imagine what a new user or
  unseasoned user will think when presented with Unity for the first
  time with no warning or introduction.

  There really should be at least 3 or 4 slides introducing Unity and
  giving basic usage instructions.  At least enough to get the users
  going once they finish installing and realise that they no longer have
  the menu structure and UI format that they are most likely used to.

  Any chance we can get some extra slides in there?
