Also, if you are upgrading from the "Netbook Edition" make sure you disable auto-login as well.

I did not and was presented with a blank desktop where it was impossible to do anything. Luckily, I was able to bring up a virtual console and disable auto-login.

The issue was that "Netbook Ubuntu" was selected instead of just "Ubuntu" in the login menu. I switch to "Ubuntu" and all was well. It booted up into the new Unity interface.

I guess the "Netbook" desktop was removed but it was still the default for my login account.
