The typeface in many new OS X 10.8 apps is Helvetica. The typeface of OS X is Lucida Grande.
I bet this changes in 10.9. At least, for Retina machines. There's a reason why iOS uses Helvetica Neue as the system font, and not Lucida Grande. It looks better on sharper displays.
The new iMessage app in 10.8 lacks instant messenger integration with services such as MSN, AIM, and Jabber, forcing the use of a different application for these features.
Erm. Those services are still there. Same as ever -- which never included MSN in the first place. Hell, theres a new framework, IMServices, which lets you add support for new services to Messages.app.

I don't think sending an e-mail is the right way to get this info out to them. Honestly though, do we really think that they don't know most, if not all, of this? I think that a lot of it is quite nit-picky, and in the scheme of things, whether or not these changes happen isn't going to make-or-break it for Apple in any significant way.
Yes, and I mean that in regard to the Mac Pro and iPod Classic, too.

Yes, he has plenty of choices. Forward it to a subordinate, select an canned response from his email client/intranet, ignore it ...
Oh for pity's sake. They make expensive hardware that looks and feels nice.
