No but Apple is expert to sway the media to do what it wants. I mean, lately it's been releasing barely upgrades and it was covered with anticipation that no other groundbreaking technology got.

New windows is really good, I don't like that MS is copying Apple and making whole thing closed, kind was hoping things would go the way of the linux, not the way of the apple, but... So, it is not perfect, but it is very futuristic interface that works.

What I specially like is that they designed interface in such a way that it doesn't require insane graphics card just to get it to work well.

I think we all need a lot of options and dissapearance of any would hurt us big time.

That's evidence?

I also think we all need a lot of options and the disappearance of any will hurt us – UEFI Secure Boot is going to reduce the number of OS options, because it raises the price of being able to boot on generic PC hardware from $0 to $99. Many OS's will work together the way Fedora, SuSE, and Matthew Garrett are working together, so it may not cost each OS $99, but anything more than $0 is a loss.
