some short videos I've been impressed with (http://www.novell.com/video/desktop/)
a very big video (http://www.novell.com/video/bs_06/monday_press_demo.ogg) (it's a "press demo" - 126Mb. I haven't finished downloading it yet so I can't comment on it)

I'd even go as far as to say that even Apple should be worried; SLED has all the bling and integration at the application level that the MacOS offers; however, SLED can be installed on computers most people already have.

another short enough review that I haven't fully read (http://www.infoworld.com/article/06/06/16/79142_25TCsled_1.html), but here's a quote from the end:Users who are completely new to Linux will be put off by SLED
