>>> Well, I don't know that the interface stuff will be all that bad. Apparently that's one of the components they have running on MacOS 7.5.3 pretty successfully already. The same is true of the other stuff. These are not the components that are going to give people headaches, from what I've read. The interface stuff will likely just add an Aaron-like extension that gives you a choice of interface "looks"....hopefully without the problems Aaron is causing, however....I don't see how a program can conflict with as many other programs as it says it does.
The stuff you mentioned putting in the new update is almost 100% likely....I mean, seriously, these are nothing other than system extensions. No problem.. <<<
But the basic problem with the "Harmony" release, is that stuff like providing a complete Coplandesque interface is quite a bit of work that won't translate over to Copland. While it may make some sense to provide a "paint job" sort of release, just to indicate that Apple's hard at work, it doesn't really do all that much for end usability. Sure, it makes the machine look more like technicolor fruitsalad, but I don't really care for it. :)
