Looks pretty damned good to me, but I'm no computer genius. I think that if they update it a bit more (some parts still look really outdated and fugly) and make it more user-friendly, I would probably run this on a netbook or something.

I wonder if they'll implement Grand Central Dispatch now that Apple released its source.

Even if they suck I love seeking new OSs out there to compete.

Looks really pretty

Pretty and simple, but not something I'm interested in...but then again, it'd be nice to have a computer running a few partitions, one windows, one ubuntu, and 3 experimental ones (linux distro, haiku, maybe googleos)
