That does look pretty nice. I wonder what the price point will be.  

Looks like the track saw companies are trying harder to make the table saw obsolete.

I found the dust collection interesting and from the video  it appears to be effective, plus no vacuum and hose!

Hope it is a success for KREG and woodworkers. If this system provides all it promises, I think Festool will have some real serious competition.

I agree. Looks like a winner. I think you can use your existing saw on a less expensive version of the kit if you choose.

I like that the table setup it looks useful and I really like the way the wheels make it store in the corner out of the way

If you follow the so many accessories that have been brought to the market (square guides, parallel guides, etc.) in order to achieve repetitive and consistent cuts in the last few years, you would think the track saws were created before the invention of table saws. Things that are so simple and easy to do on a table saw such as cutting narrow and identical strips or parallel/square boards become a huge obstacle unless you are willing to spend $300 to $400 or more on gadgets (including the table, etc.).

The track saw was a good idea to cut down a large sheet, but then people started trying to use it to do also things that it was badly designed for. Hence, a $400 track saw grew into a $1500 or more sawing station. I recently came upon a forum thread in which the owner of a Festool MFT table expressing his frustrations about using it with a track saw. He thought he made a bad investment.
