more on topic, it is still possible to use the classic gnome gui on 11.04. a quick google should reveal how.

Quick Google? That's not needed, just log in as classic desktop...

However, Unity is good enough for me and it's what I use.

Did I hear the word penis used in a non-medical application?  Shame.

Yeah I think this is a typical online slang which was used a lot before, although not much here. I agree we should go back on-topic, tho.

By the way when installing Ubuntu, are there risks of totally messing up your computer when running certain applications in particular that needs a full install?

Normally you can easily install ubuntu next to windows (default option).
All applications in windows should still work fine :)

Well, the installer itself is a full OS, so the programs running on it are fine.

Ubuntu is an Operating System based on Linux.  It modifies your entire computer's core infrastructure, and because of this, it surprised me that you can do other stuff while installing.
