I don't think the idea(s) behind these new features are bad, I just think they are poorly designed and implemented.

@mobileidioti dont believe this windows is 90% of the market crap for a second. macs may be 5% of the total US market, but that total is bulls**t. commoditized workplace pc's that nobody would buy anyway if they had a choice count in this total. how much of the *consumer* market does apple have? remember they have 11% of the total laptop market, and at least 25 million active users.mac consumer US market share, the only real market share that counts since this is the group of people who willingly spend their money on products they choose, is far higher than 5%. information counter to this is just PC user FUD.

For the record, I don't really care what any of you think of me and my comments. I post them because it's my opinion and I choose to. You are entitled to disagree. It's just a shame that you are all so obsessed about Apple that you take any non-Apple fanboy comment to be a direct personal attack and respond in kind.Whatever - your reactions to my comments which unless you work for Apple or are Steve Jobs himself really have nothing to do with you speak volumes and back up this whole Apple fanatic/fanboyism view.Keep modding me down - I don't give a s**t.

Good post - finally a mature post that doesn't resort to name calling and acting like you are a 14 year old high school kid with no social skills (seems most other people on here fit that).All I'm saying is that Apple can keep their hype engine going at full steam but as a Windows user there is ABSOLUTELY NO reason to switch to a Mac today...name one please. Don't give me security because with the new Windows Security products or third-party products that's a non-issue.IMHO, they can call it Showtime or whatever they want but until they come up with something truly compelling in switching to a Mac - it'll always be < 5% market share and a hobbyist type of OS.At some point Apple is going to be tempted to focus primarily on their money-making business which is iPods, accessories, iTunes and hardware. Just a matter of time.
