Yeah Its worth the look but I installed in on my MacBook Pro and it was next to unusable... It won't support sideways scrolling through the metro interface (which is SHOCKING on non-tablet PC's) with my trackpad or magic mouse.

Kinda dissapointed thought it would be good

You'll need to wait for Apple to update their drivers for it, I trialed around with it on virtualBox and its ok, I don't really like the Metro UI though, and can see myself turning it off on release!
