Linux.com takes a look at gOS. They conclude: "I really liked gOS. It's a cute little system with lots of functionality and great looks. It works well and is fast and stable on my laptop. It should work on any computer that any other Linux supports. Enlightenment is an impressive desktop environment, and the iBar is a low-overhead way to blend cool effects with needed functionality. I think users will like it."

"Your typical Mac clone dock launcher (iBar) for applications. "
I don't get why people say such a thing , GNU/Linux as had launcher bar for application on it's desktop long before Mac OS X came out in 2001 and they had them before Next too ...
That's why Apple enforce it's theme but don't have a patent on dock launcher bar.

No.
Dock != launch bar. Thom has a nice article about the topic: http://www4.osnews.com/story/18941/Common_Usability_Terms_pt._VI:_t...

You do understand that people say such a thing because the Mac dock is on EVERY Mac OSX installation by default whereas under Linux it sure is possible to add one...but is it default? Nope. The dock defines OSX whereas that doesn't fit with Linux. That's the reason people say such things. It has nothing to do with who invented it. Just think about the sentence "a flag with stripes and lots of stars"...What does that remind you of? Most likely the flag of the United States. Why? Because that's the most well-known example of such a flag even though there probably has been hundreds of flags that fit that definition long before.

Aww, come on, people love eye candy and you know it. People want to see what makes it different.
I checked out the screenshots and I saw Enlightenment running with a green theme with a Debian base of applications. In the corner there is a Google search widget. Your typical Mac clone dock launcher (iBar) for applications. The Google application icons open the browser and load the correct URL, simply revolutionary.
