I think he meant that the newest 15" MBP with a 2880x1800 retina display is configured by default to show a scaled 1680x1050 desktop instead of the "native" 1440x900@2x you are thinking about.

Thanks, did they? I missed that! The spec pages still say:

15.4-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit display with IPS technology; 2880-by-1800 native resolution at 220 pixels per inch with support for millions of colors

-- and lists a number of supported "scaled" resolutions.

I wonder why they made this move... People asking them for more real estate? Haven't gotten my MBPr yet, is the scaled resolutions workable?

That's exactly what I meant, apologies for confusion.

I was profoundly shaken, but in the end, in the interest of discussion, I decided to accept the apology.
