#2What is this? The landing page looks interesting but light on explanations. Has anyone used it? How is it?

#3I wonder how good their legal team is. Apple is very big on infringing trade dress.

#4I really like a lot of the stuff Elementary is doing, but I loathe the way they're mimicking OS X. It's a complete deal breaker for me. It feels like a knock-off.

It looks like it's a Darwin/GTK3 open source OS and desktop environment. Previous release "Jupiter" of 2011 was based on Linux. Has its own development library, "Granite". I'm surprised I haven't heard of it before, it does look interesting.

elementary is what Ubuntu should have been. Basically, they've built a new desktop environment from the ground up with focus on design and usability. This the first release of the DE (first release was based on Gnome), so it's still a bit immature, but there's already a big following.

It's a linux distribution that's based on Ubuntu but replaces Unity and some other applications. Some of the replacements are developed by the Elementary OS team themselves.

Hmm, that sounds a lot like what Ubuntu did. :-)
