In[2]:= Solve[x^3 == 1, x] // ComplexExpand

Out[2]= {{x -> 
   1}, {x -> -(1/2) - (I Sqrt[3])/2}, {x -> -(1/2) + (I Sqrt[3])/2}}

If you really insist on that form of output, here is a hack using obscure typesetting commands:

HoldForm[DisplayForm@RadicalBox[1, 3]] == 
 DisplayForm@
  Cell[BoxData[
    RowBox[{"{", 
      Grid[{z} /. ComplexExpand[Solve[z^3 == 1, z]], 
       Alignment -> Left]}]], SpanMaxSize -> Infinity]

I wonder if it can be done more easily...

I would like to insert a TraditionalForm, but anybody knows where?
