-Kernel will be realtime and have a ZFS similar FS
-X will be a user process, kernelmodesetting will enable smooth, flicker- and tearingfree graphics
-KDE4, GNOME3, OpenOffice4, Firefox4 will be even more modular and more tightly integrated
-3D will work with everything ( at least on Intel, Via and especially AMD/ATI ) thanks to Gallium3D
-Wine will play games faster on Linux than on bloatware windows7 ( thanks to the kernel and gallium3d )
-It will be so beautiful that you would be OK with dying after seeing it ( thanks to Mark Shuttleworth .. hmm .. maybe I am slithly wrong on this one .. )
-Many more great things I cannot think of right now
