I thought it was a decent enough review for someone who appears to be quite outside the community.
As far as applications go, I think there are going to be people who are somewhat suprised at the results they get when trying to run software. I'm sure there will be misconceptions such as exactly how system friendly an application really is or needs to be to run correctly. (Simply being RTG isn't enough.)
For the time being, I think that both MOS and (when released) AOS will be where they should be, which is fitting the needs of this community. To go beyond is going to take more time.
