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.

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.
