Seriously, you can now download elementary OS 0.1 "Jupiter" via BitTorrent clients from their website: http://elementaryos.org/
Elementary OS is a new Linux OS based on Ubuntu, but focused on simplicity and elegance. You can even install the popular elementary theme in Ubuntu, like I did a few months back. Easy on the eyes, and looks very elegant.
Despite being based on Ubuntu, it doesn't really behave like Ubuntu. For example, you can't place shortcuts on the desktop. And not all of it's proposed features/softwares comes preinstalled. There isn't even a music player in this release! But that can be solved easily by installing any music player of your choice, of course.
It's interesting to play around with this OS, but to make it as a primary OS is going to be a long way ahead. Perhaps we should wait until elementary matures a little more, with all the cool features (Slingshot, Plank, Wingpanel...) available for use. And the release of a 64 bit version as well.
