it isn't intuitively different from Google, and that is a disappointment. I understand that they have done a bunch of UI stuff which is supposed to make it a better search service, but what exactly are these?

The hover-triggered contexts don't really provide me with much more than the summary below the title. Seems redundant.

The left navigation bar I thought was supposed to have a bunch of cool features. I'm only seeing my search history. That may be a nice to have, but it isn't a game changer.

The snow leopard is awful, and isn't that the Mac line of products?
