blogs.adobe.com — If you're a Web designer, expect your CSS colors & your untagged/unmanaged images to look darker on Snow Leopard than on previous versions of the Mac OS. You'll also see less of a visible color shift when going from Photoshop to Flash or other unmanaged environments (e.g. Internet Explorer).

You might want to look at the list of things that Windows copied from Apple before you play that card.

Shot? You mean with a digital camera at the wrong colour temperature, and posted online without correction on a calibrated monitor, right? Serves them right!

Apple was 100% correct in saying 1.8 was ideal for designing for printed materials, as it most closely matches the printed page. Printed materials were, by far, the most dominant format that a designer was working for when Apple made this decision, so it made sense to give them a gamma to match. However, since more and more design efforts are aimed at digital formats, and the sRGB standard used a gamma of 2.2 (making it the dominant gamma level), Apple now sees 2.2 as the ideal default setting for their OS in todays design world. At this point though, color management makes all of this mostly useless. The only time it ever comes into play these days is when designing for a non-color-managed media format. You can bet your ass though, if you work for a printed media company, your monitor is going to be at 1.8, because it's the best gamma for the job.I fail to see your logic in saying that Apple wrong on both counts. They recognized a shift in the design world as far as gamma, and the recognized that Intel made better processors for where they wanted to take their OS. Seems to me you'd WANT a company to adapt to the ever-changing environment instead of stagnating.
