Ars has reviewed the brand new iMac. They conclude: "The Intel Macs are fast, the majority of apps have been released as Universal Binaries, and Apple's product line - including the new iMac - is in a good place. The iMac is also competitive on price with other all-in-one PCs, so if you absolutely love the all-in-one form factor, the iMac is one of lower-priced options available. If you've been holding on to your Power PC Mac and waiting for the right time to make the big switch to Intel, the appearance of the new iMac marks an excellent opportunity." CNet also has a review.

I bumped up your score, and I'll add that I'm scared that they didn't even give customers an option, a bad trend.
If you are not in a dark room, glossy screens just don't work as well as matte screen. When I go to the coffee shop, everyone with a glossy screen has to sit to one side, away from the windows.
You could put anti-reflection coatings on glossy screen monitors, but they just don't seem to work as well as a textured screen, granted, at higher resolutions, you need a finer texture, as not to cause a morie patterns, but it seem some texture is needed.
Lastly, I'll leave you with this: Windows Visa's launch bar simulates glare, of all the stupid things simulate in a GUI: something that hinders visibility. Why stop there? Why not simulate chromatic abberation, out of focus images, dead pixels, or wait, why not take a picture of the room behind you, reverse it and paste it on your desktop to simulate the glare from a glossy monitor.
