Fantastic Andrew, cheers. Now the subway ride to work will be a little more interesting!

So. Onto the 2K6 OS itself. I can't decide if I like the Star-Trek(tm)-esque layout. I hope the colour scheme will be modifyable.
I'm very concerned this came out and I haven't heard about developers having got their hands on it. In my opinion the independent dev group is extremely important. Apps = functionality; without functionality, the 770 is another paperweight. Everything's gotta be recompiled and modified, and most of these people are coding for free in their spare time and are probably already suffering burnout. I think the spate of new apps is going to dry up for the first little while until the 2006-OS-holdouts start cranking things out.

They're so frustrating at work, but do I ever love the 770 devs. (then again I don't have to look at any SQL you guys write)

The OS itself looks a lot more polished and hopefully is a lot faster. I had the inkling that they might put their effort into 2006 and only try to keep 2005 afloat - barely - to keep people happy. Let's see how it performs.
