Can't figure out the internals of the project either (how is it powered ? web based ? etc.) Plus it keeps on giving HTTP 500 errors :(

About the browser: "But unlike many of its peers, Midori is also fully native to elementary, using the same GTK toolkit that ensures the perfect desktop compatibility and integration found in our other apps." So apparently it's GTK-based.

  Jupiter is based on ubuntu maverick, luna the next update is based on ubuntu oneiric. You could call it a ubuntu remix but its not a fair statement, the whole idea is a unified os that is designed to look and feel a certain way. They have specific apps that will replace the default gnome utilities like nautilus rhythmbox etc. Marlin - nautilus replacement Beatbox - rhythmbox/banshee Pantheon - gnome-terminal Postler - evolution/thunderbird Dexter - contacts I'm writing this post from elementary os jupiter. Its worth a try just to get a feel of ubuntu taken apart and rebuilt with a focus on design and usability. However dont expect things to be polished like osx, it is not. A few "features" like postler storing your password in plain text is enough to put me off using it over thunderbird but i digress.

    Well as an Elementary developer I'd like to clarify a few things here: Pantheon is what we call our shell, in our view this includes our wingpanel, slingshot as launcher, plank as new dock made by some docky developers and our other apps(postler, Dexter ...) Also because you mentioned not Bering as polished as apple, we simply don't have enough manpower to accomplished our vision at this time, but we get closer every day.

looks like plain gnome + docky with a clean theme, that's about it.. Another linux distro which tries to have a simple and clean interface. I will install the mail program postler on ubuntu and give it a try, though.

it's just Ubuntu with a new theme and some new default apps.
