Interesting. Its the first YouTube video I've been able to watch. Only one 
minor hesitation near the start then the res ot if it played smoothly.

That Beryl desktop looked fine for a moment when it first booted. The toolbar 
across the bottom reminded me of what I've been on the Mac's at a local store. 
Once the person started interating with it, it all started to look rather 
sick. I don't mean sick as in good but as in nauseating.

The web page says "Above all else, the project seeks to listen to and respond 
to the requests of the user base." so I want to know who is the user base? 
Mostly kids who are spend most of their time playing games?

I'd like to know how one gets the Beryl desktop so I can be sure to stay far 
away from it. I can think of better ways to make use of CPU/GPU processing 
abilities.
