The bad news is it will not be available for a year.

That reminds me of the old joke that was going around when Windows 95 was looong delayed, and then some. OS/2 was available, and it was pretty good, but because of MS's advertising skill, most people were waiting for the new Windows to ship.

The joke goes like this:

Bill Gates and his wife are in divorce court. The wife tells the judge that they've been married for a long time, but have yet to have sex. The judge says "Never?" She responds, "No, all he does is stand at the foot of the bed and tell me how good it's going to be!"

Google has now released developer builds. People are already compiling the new OS for testing. And the early builds look quite promising. Since the core is the Linux kernel, everything is already at hand to build and run an alpha version.
