I had the luck to try it out first and I have to say, it's awesome. From scratch to a running OpenShift origin with minishift it took me 1:56 min (11 MBit/s downstream) for the initial run and 30s for subsequent starts.
On OS X it uses xhyve under the covers so not even VirtualBox is required (an no local Docker installation, btw). Kudos Jimmi, it's really extraordinary ! imo that the way to go for competing the outstanding Docker Inc.
