I'm a tiny bit concerned.

    Can I download the OS to try it out?
    You will be able to download it (including the source code, if you're into that) but not yet.

Open source os. Hardware partners for devices. Sound familiar? >_> android.

So, when I buy a samsung steambox it's going to come with its own BallsWiz UI customization as they try to differentiate isnt it?

Similarly it means that a group of consumers could work together and create a great build to use (eg Cyanogen Mod).

As long as we can install our own OS it'll be fine.
