Youre running linux and yet you don't wan't alphas? Have a look at the times between the last few kernel releases, and ask yourself if this software is up to beta standard.
I haven't personally tried OS X, so I don't know about how the multi user stuff fits together, but presumably you need to be running as root to install this (or trash your hd, for that matter). Shouldn't there be a way to install some apps without being root? Seems to me that having the user root by default is a bad strategy in terms of apps going evil, viruses, etc... this OS is not targeted at security-conscious people.
Okay, forget for a second that, as was said above, the injunction is just not going to happen. The big friendly media companies say they'll get one, so let's believe them. What does a rational consumer do?

10^23 atoms/gram => avg molar mass of 6 (lithium). Is this a bit light?
So you whip out your two hundred million cd recordables, and start inserting them. Let's say you get 1 frisbee for each 25 700Mb CDs.
This leaves you with eight million frisbees.
That's a stack 13 kilometres high.
So who needs this on a desktop OS again?

xmame/xmess should do fine (or am i missing something here) What's the bet you could fit every console/arcade game made before 1995 on a DVD?
