Who is with me, I think the brushed metal interface looks good on iTunes, and iSync, and iPhoto, but Safari just doesn't look good with it, and neither does iMovie.

What is this, the five-billionth one?

Do we really have nothing better to do than argue over COLORS?

Agree above, but since its here, I think safari is quite nice, I've gotten used to it. The unbrushed Safari looks sh!thouse.
A computer without Windows is like a cake without mustard.

I happen to like brushed metal but hate the inconsistency. The close/minimize buttons are sunk into the windows in some apps, while sitting on top of the metal in others. Some app's windows are beveled to apper lit from above while others are highlighted to appear as if the light source is off to the side. The buttons in Safari (home, refresh, etc) don't match the buttons in apps like iPhoto or iCal (info, add, etc), they're shaded completely differently. i know people post about this topic relentlessly, but nevertheless, what the hell?

I once hated everything brushed metal, but now I'm falling for it... when I have iTunes, Safari, Address book and iChat all open...

My computer looks like a well oiled machine...

I would have to say Windows and Linux are all over the place graphics wise... both of our options kick their a$$...
