Perhaps we should ask Ubuntu how the experience of moving to Unity worked
for them.  Ubuntu's popularity pretty much exceeds just about every other
distros out there.  Unity is even more different than GNOME 3 is arguably.

I think most people are fairly saavy about what they'll expect.  I assume
that Fedora is advertising GNOME 3?  For instance, Adam and I both did a
session on GNOME 3 and Fedora 15 at a recent Linux conference this past
weekend.  There hasn't been that many questions out of those sessions
regarding the UI.

Your statement does not take into account that GNOME has spent a large
amount of time marketing GNOME 3 through social networks, press releases,
magazine articles and so forth.  It is also well known that Fedora uses
GNOME as a default.  So I think by now people are aware that change is
coming.
