Glass Screen, does it scratch?

Hi, I have the new unibody MacBook Pro 15" Aluminum Unibody with Glass Screen. And I was just wondering, since it's glass does that mean its as scratch-resistant as glass? (yeah it sounds funny i know)

or at least more scratch resistant that the plastic screen of old??

macbook pro, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

The glass is generally scratch resistant, however, great care should still be taken to protect your screen. If anything gets between the screen and keyboard while the macbook is closed it can scratch or even worse chip the glass. Even something as little as a granual of sand... So be sure to keep your screen and keyboard clean and consider a protective cloth between your keyboard and screen when it's closed.
