I saw the responses to this thread and decided to check out what all the fuss was about. I have to say, I think Apple's finally lost it. Trying to turn the operating system into an iPad? Someone save us. I like their OS as is, and being an Intel user, I do like Snow Leopard. That said, I think Lion is going to blow if they keep up all this "Fisher Price" nonsense. It seems that Apple forgets that some people actually use their computer for more than consumer tasks! The loss of PPC support is tragic since there are so many PPC machines in use still (at my work there's only 1 Intel Mac in the whole building, the other 7 are all G4 machines) and they're all still perfectly functional. My main desktop is still a G5 DP and it's still as usable as anything else I have. This sounds awful since I've been an Apple user since birth (Parents bought their first Apple 2 weeks before I was born!) but if Apple goes ahead with this "kindergarten" approach they show on Lion, I may consider running Windows. I have 7 on my PeeCee desktop and it's not nearly as painful as having to deal with having an "iPad OS" running on my computer.
