Most of what I've seen are sites that give early 
opinions. As the months roll on you'll see 
more info in the print magazines. We're still 
very early in this new world.

Most of what's out there now concerns 10.0-
10.0.4, since 10.1 won't be available to the 
general public until Saturday. 

I've been waiting for some good books also. It 
seems wierd for this user to need or want a 
MacOS book, but I freely admit I want one. It 
isn't that it's hard to use, it's imposible to 
understand the guts without some unix 
training, I think. 

Whereas the guts of the System Folder in our 
older versions are somewhat intuative the 
new System Folder is, uh, "not for you (the 
user) to muck around with". Both good and 
bad, but I want to know more and a dang book 
is gonna be the only way now. 

But more to your point, check out apple.com. 
When the 10.1 update was officially 
announced the other day Apple updated most 
of their pages concerning what it'll do and how 
it'll do it. Start there.

>Why it is so great?

I concur with Pete. Multitasking and protected 
memory (intimated by Pete earlier) is really 
very powerful to experience and it'll make the 
current interface indiscretions melt away (I 
hope) and let us all get more work and play 
done, which is what the Mac is all about.

There are other features of course, and it is 
the future of the Mac, and why I'll certainly be 
going "all OS X" as soon as it's practical for 
me to do so. 

Don't be turned of by the newness or interface 
differences before you learn more about the 
advatages. OS X is not really about the look, 
but that's what you'll be hearing the most 
about. Practice "selective hype' if you can!
