This is a good way to see the general direction Apple is taking. I can't wait to see what they're going to do with OS X.

Just for fun, this is not a real peek: http://9to5mac.com/2013/08/08/a-look-at-what-an-ios-7-inspir...

Anyone else wobble their Macbook back and forth to see if the background shifts in response? (it doesn't)

Yep. I liked the effect switching between the home screen and the "apps". My next thought was "I wonder if the parallax thing works too?"

Nope.

Correction: iCloud Beta Incorporates windows (Metro) look and feel.

Not really. Windows (Metro) is completely flat, there is no depth and it is very difficult to distinguish controls. The direction Apple is taking adds a bit of depth to help distinguish most controls, similar to Android design guidelines.

That looks more like what Windows 8 should've looked like in some alternative universe, rather than an upcoming copy of OS X. (Which is, I think, telling about the aesthetic movement going on right now.)
