That looks pretty kool.

the links don't work but i think i've seen it.

Is it the pc with the evil looking cctv camera tacked on the side, if so, i hate it

Some of the features sound nice, but i also heard it is mainly an attempt to make pcs windows only... grr

fissyb: Are you on dial-up? Im on DSL and the links work fine.

i'm on ridulously high bandwidth connection dual t3's i think

edit, more probably, i'm sure bandwidth isn't the problem

it loads mediaplayer, then comes up with an error.

WMP9? If you dont have it that might be the problem.
