Apple needs to cater to the kind of user who likes the funky little things llike that, the standard user, to expand their somewhat small market share. People who look at the iMacs and say "Oooo!!! Isn't that pretty, and look! It does this!" and that's about as far as their computer knowledge goes. For more serious computer users there are other software products available that may do the job better and be safer to use, minus some of the speccy features.
At the end of the day they need to attract more people to pay them money and they wont do that without competing in the same areas as Windows running machines do, and without bettering what they do for the average person who knows how to boot up and type a word documment then surf the net and chat to friends. The majority of people can't understand why we all love our Macs, its a shame, but its their loss in the end. :-) Although all this may be neat to the end user I > dislike it simply on the > level that there's interaction between my machine > and .mac which I didn't > initiate and have no control over.
