All of it was great except for the three animated balls turning into the Ubuntu logo - it is too reminiscent of the Windows Vista/Win7 logo and we should be distancing ourselves from that, not looking like a clone or rip-off.
I really don't think this is a Win7 rip-off, besides this idea was created long before Win7 was around. (see the Ubuntu 8.04 incoming artwork wiki for more info)
Unfortunately though, I think other people would inevitably cry out that it's a copy, only because Karmic will ultimately come out after the official Win7 launch date and everyone will be arguing until the cows come home...
So where can I download it? Dont get me wrong I love new releases and the like but Id also like to be able to get at the source to install it rather than wait for Ubuntu's next shooting star
That's really smooth. I hope 10.04 will boot like that.

Would it be possible to get the background used in this? Because combining it with your fireflies will give me a true MadsRH boot experience! =P

That's beautiful. But it is too Win7-alike.

Quite nice. I'd like to see more concept work at this grade. The overall look and feel needs to improve, significantly.

Pretty cool, I hope Xubuntu 9.10 will have it also. :)

This is incredible! The login screen looks amazing.
I have seen a LOT of great ideas for the boot splash and login screen and I tell you, Canonical better include one (if not more) of them!
Seriously, I'm not joking. It would be so disappointing if one of these don't make it to the final Karmic release!

Will any of these awesome boot splash make it to karmic? I really hope so because I haven't seen many new cool features since 8.04.

Other than that, thumbs up!

Ah OK - sorry I didn't spy the dates. :)
