Wow, that would have taken a lot of work to put together.
Looks fun, it would be way more fun on the iPad.

They obviously put a lot of work into it but are still some glaring rough edges (obviously, it is beta). Doubt it will ever be better for productivity than the default UI but no real harm in them playing around.
For free
I was able to install it for free:
instead of using the Lifehacker guide, do the following:
- install Dreamboard 1.1.4 via Cydia (use the modmyi repo)
- open Dreamboard
- install OSX Ultimatum
Fairly nice, kinda gimmicky, takes getting used to, but great proof of concept. Have fun fellow tweakers

What Phone is used for the demo? a 5?
What Phone is used for the demo?
It has a larger screen than a 4. And the photo shows THREE BUTTONS on the left side. The case photos for the 5 show the Mute button on the right.
Any ideas?

what i don't get is.... why are key commands listed in the drop downs???
My guess is to make it look as realistic as possible. Or at least as close to the real thing as they can.
This looks like fun...
Honestly, I haven't bothed jail breaking since iPhone 1 back when it was all terminal commands and good luck charms... oh, and buggy software. I know the whole jail break system is pretty stable these days.. but this looks like it might actually be worth playing with!

What if Apple built Windows 8?
It's undeniably cool, but an incredible kludge to put the desktop interface on an iDevice. Look at the video! The menus are unmanageable. It's like Windows' version of touch: in Windows 7, you can put a touch layer above a standard windows app, and good luck finding the place to click with your finger. Same here: the finger model clicks without hitting. I'm sure they edited out the times when he clicked on the wrong menu.
OSX menus ≠ phone interface.

A note of interest, in the menubar is says Command-N is new finder window & when tapped, you do get a window, but when using a physical keyboard, Command-N does nothing as with all the other keyboar shortcuts.

Maybe the commands listed are working with a bluetooth apple keyboard connected to the iphone?
Edit: Nevermind,
The problem is you can't change the dock apps. Oh and it also has a safari windowed version (like OSX) which you can open from the mission control!
There's also launchpad, although it's not as good as the iphone's normal desktop, for the only reason that you can't make folders.
I recommend it to anyone who wants his iphone to look a bit different
A question to other people using it: Does your dashboard work? Mine shows the clock and calendar, but the top widget (I guess it's weather?) doesn't work... Any solutions to that?

Anyhow, I installed this and it's freaking awesome. It has a finder, where you can have your apps and games in different folders etc, you can put apps in the desktop, in the favorites folder (left from the trash can).
