Yep, after being a loyal Apple fan (but never a fanboy) since the Apple II, Apple is succeeding in driving me away. My next machine will be an inexpensive PC with Windows 7 on it, and I will continue to run the Mac OS virtualized when necessary. Apple is in the process of crippling their OS, and to put it bluntly; I need my UI to work with me, not against me. Lion reminds me of fighting with older versions of
Windows - it just doesn't do anything right (completely broken full-screen functionality across multiple monitors, no all window-expose, icon and button all grey and hard to differentiate, critical portions of the OS necessary for troubleshooting hidden.) The list goes on and on, but the bottom line is I can't take the trip to moron-land with them. Hmmm, maybe that should be their new advertising tag line "The new Apple; computers for morons, by morons". What a sad state of affairs, up through Snow Leopard they had the envy of the industry; now they've got crap.
