While it looks it gets better, it still lacks the only feature that keeps me from switching, i.e. the possibility to subscribe multiple times to the same feed with different user names. That's the way some popular feeds work (GMail, for example), and it's supported in other readers.
Being a beta release, this is surprisingly stable: some features aren't implemented (like audio), some are rough (network adapters aren't that reliable), other annoying quirks couldn't honestly been blamed on the emulation (Ubuntu couldn't recognize my MBP keyboard, while XP worked properly).
Emulation speed is more than enough for regular, office use: no 3D, but it boots and runs much faster than a real Pentium 4 PC!
In all, an excellent piece of software, and free for personal use (if they maintain the policy they have on other platforms): hopefully they'll implement what's missing, I'll definitely keep an eye on them!
I don't usually buy games online (too many times I've been lured by the screenshots only to discover later the playability was horrible), but in this case the fun I had with the demo was enough to buy almost immediately.
Plus, my kids love it: it's perfect to have 20 minutes of fun without the hassle that more complex best sellers put on you!
