Patiently downloaded Croquet last night. After reading through the short-on-specifics- and hype-laden introduction and FAQ (as Hani Suleiman would say, there is quite a lot of arm-waving going on there), my curiosity was piqued and I decided that the 60 MB download was worth it. Sad to say, but it wasn't. I simply couldn't see where Squeak ends and Croquet begins. It is not very obvious what Croquet brings to the table. Both seem to have a goal of becoming a guest OS (or at least the default desktop). May be I need to dig deeper. But based on first impressions, definitely a disappointment.
