Thanks for the link. I left constructive feedback and honestly told them that this means I will have to abandon all future Apple hardware purchases and switch to generic PC hardware with Linux for software development and Windows (yuck) for Photoshop work.

I just can't believe that someone at Apple would make a mistake like this. This is Apple company image/philosophy/direction changing and a lot of people will simply leave Apple.

Don't really know if threatening to stop buying Apply products will have much effect. Apple has been known to do what they think is right for you, regardless of what you think. E.g. abandoning the floppy disk drive. They're probably hoping that eventually, most laptop screens (Win. and Apple) will be glossy and then you'll all be forced to go along.
