Having said that, Apple's decline might be inevitable. Their business model relies on being one step ahead of the pack to justify the price premium. When the others catch up and you can get similar looking and spec laptops for a significant discount from other retailers then many people will stop paying the premium.

OSu will also utilize the startlight, a fusion of Window's start button and Apple's spotlight. This creates a familiar and easy experience for users.
I'm sorry, but I'm smelling trademark infringement in OSu's website, what with bugs in the menu with white text in white background when hovered over the text. Seems like someone does not know cascading stylesheet very well.

There was a time when someone was infringing on the "windows" trademark, and microsoft settled it out of court because they were afraid the court would not uphold the trademark on a word that is so generic. The same thing would almost definitely happen with "start" as well.

This is the response what I got when I emailed them:
I am aware, though the next Version of MATE will have Wayland support
as well as a GTK3 port. That shouldn't be to long coming and if it is
we'll help out a bit, we are bringing in Collabora to help us out and
advise us in aspects of wayland and Xwayland. I'm not to worried but
MATE is faster than Cinnamon by a bit and Gnome isn't very beginner
friendly at the moment. We where first going to use XFCE but they are
no where near being Compatible with Wayland. I hope I answered your
question and if you have any further ones I'll be glad to answer.
Kind Regards,
Andrew Bernstein

It is not like Arch does not have testing repositories to sort this stuff out.
My only issues with it are the lack of AUR updates through a GUI (ie, wrapper yaourt -Syua instead of pacman -Syu) and the lack of MAC options besides grsec, which is kind of overkill for a consumer machine.
