most beautiful and easiest to use Linux operating system on the market?

In a recent Economist Article, I heard for the first time about gOS, an operating system claiming to be "the most beautiful and easiest to use Linux operating system on the market."

The author experienced gOS during volunteer work he did refurbishing computers for kids.  He praised gOS for its child-friendliness, its clean interface, and it's blazing fast 9 second startup time.  He even says he "has kept a copy of this clever Linux distribution (gOS 3.1 Gadgets is the latest version) on one of his office machines to remind him of what, with luck, the future could look like."

Strong praise, and the screenshots look pretty...has anyone spent much time with gOS?  I'm curious to hear whether others agree or disagree with this assessment.

Since graduating from Northwestern University with a Physics degree, I have helped build long-distance nonprofit WiFi networks as a volunteer in Nepal, managed communications-hardware deployments for the U.S. Department of State, created a high-volume image archive system for an A-list advertising photographer, and helped tell the story of landmine survivors through documentary multimedia. This multi-disciplinary career path has been my attempt to blend passions for technology, creativity, and global involvement. Outside of work, I am an avid photographer and I try to spend as much time as possible getting to the top of tall things by boot, bike, climbing harness, or ice axe.
