Two comments regarding the Brushed Metal look...

From the talks I heard at WWDC, I thought that it was correct to use the Textured Window (brushed metal) for programs that interface with hardware and/or for utility packages (ie. ones that provide some access or control of System functions). This would cover the Address Book (the most commented on Textured Window program) since you are edited the user's addresses (now a System function with the Address Book API). General applications and games should not use the > interface.

Then how come System Preferences isn't metal?


It doesn't directly translate to a 'real world' device?

iPhoto-photo album, iTunes-Stereo, iCal-DayTimer, QTViewer-Tv, Backup-TapeDrive (stretch), iSync... uh... your momma!!!

Fine.. so it doesn't always hold up.. but in some cases... :-)
