Re: your first point - I was highly disappointed with Lion when I was finally 
allowed to upgrade to it.  I do not understand this habit of designers for 
changing UIs and "how things work" at random new updates.  Apple has joined 
Microsoft and Gnome in this horrible idea.  Do these people not understand the 
concept of "muscle memory"?  Each new change to look and feel means the users 
have to break out of their old motor learning and start anew.

They're turning into the incompetents and corporate bullies that their old 
"think different" ads railed against. Time for a boycott. So, Doug, can I run 
Lightroom 4 on Linux?
