I've seen that. A couple of notes/concerns:

1. No fade-in like in the current Front Row. Hope that's just a bad edit of the online video.
2. Clear AppleTV influence, including the AppleTV error messages. I hope that means YouTube is coming to Front Row as well.
3. I'd like to know if any of our MPEG-2/Dolby Digital/VIDEO_TS concerns with the current FrontRow/QuickTime versions are being addressed. I'm not holding my breath, but right now there's not enough for me to upgrade my living room Mac mini to Leopard.

Trust me, you're going to want the entire Leopard -- IMO it is the biggest/best OS X upgrade since Apple made OS X usable with Jaguar(?).

I'd bet that FrontRow 2.0 (or whatever it'll be called) depends on Leopard. Especially if it really is a newer version of BackRow that we've seen on the appleTV (and reportedly included in Leopard).

I'd like to know if its going to be more responsive. I'm using a Harmony remote, and front row is incredibly sluggish. Solid half second delay for every button push. Very annoying.
