Yeah, that's our hope anyway! ;-)

My concern is focused on the install-and-launch stuff, I think. These 
are pretty different between the boxes. So I'm guessing the right 
thing to do is to write separate "If" paragraphs for these processes. 
I haven't dug into anything beyond that yet but it is likely that for 
now at least we have only editing and wording issues in the rest of 
the docs until a really native MachoPython with Carbon libs wrapped 
is available.
