Are you going to beta test it? I have a friend who uses Linux and swears by it for reliability / usability, wonder how it will hold up to it.

i am trying to get a beta developer's copy to have since they had already given me a developer's copy of wave,so we will see.i have played with it some and i will go along with your friend in saying the same stuff about it as him/her.that and the fact of how simple,beautiful,and friendly it is for the user.it is going to be a big movement in the IT/computer industry!!!

If you get a beta version, i'd LOVE to acquire a copy from you and run it on my netbook. I'm a huge fan of Google's Chrome web browser already. :goodjob:

Linux has the stability and while kde and gnome are both decent desktop managers.. its still to complicated for the average person and to much of a learning curve. Google has an amazing ability and drive to simplify technologies and make them very straight forward. I only see good things coming from this venture for the *nix community.
