My very first thought when I saw that was "Wow, that looks nice... I  
wonder if I could make a MythTV theme like that...".  That said, I  
don't think I can. :-) But I'd be willing to try. I've already done  
one MythTV theme - which I use everyday -- and love. Its a far cry  
from the silky goodness that Apple is serving up though.

There's a Front Row walk-through here: http://www.apple.com/imac/ 
tour/ . I'm not so sure about some of the sound effects, but  
certainly its the simplest and cleanest UI I've seen for this type of  
application. I love how your desktop transitions to Front Row...  
that's cool (although not necessary for MythTV). I really like how it  
is very iPod-like to step through various screens. I don't think we  
could get some of the eye-candy on my poor little Celeron -- I guess  
they are using Quartz Extreme for some of the reflections/transitions/ 
etc.
