Haas is bringing out a desktop cnc mill, Get a Sneak Peek!

I thought a 'mill' had the advantage of extreme rigidity compared to a gantry router while a gantry router had the advantage of a much larger work envelope compared to a mill. This 'mill' appears to have the dissadvantages of both.

Just wait for the influx of youtube videos about how good this type of 'mill' is

Ya Think? :D
At least with it being a Haas if there's a version which comes with a tool changer it will probably come off easily, though usually unexpectedly! ;-)
