I've installed it under Virtual PC on Mac OS/X.  I have not had a 
chance to play with it much, but I can say that it runs just fine under 
VPC using the 2.6.x kernel.  Also, the interface is very smooth and 
polished; simple, uncluttered, plain.  But since it's Linux, you can 
change all that.

Keep in mind its geared toward the neophyte destop-user audience, not 
geek hackers.

Give it a whirl and let us know your experiences.
