Anyone else missing the welcome videos?

Arguably, this version of OS X (Mavericks) is the best so far (second being Snow Leopard) but is there anyone else missing the welcome videos when you launched an OS X machine for the first time?

You can of course go; how often do you reinstall OS X from scratch or buy a new one to see the welcome video but that was a nice, welcoming touch. It was a visual representation, a proof, of the colourful world of the Mac when people were switching from pc in vast amounts.

There is still the set up screen but a short welcome video would be great. I mean, why did they even discontinue it?

p.s. I think the best welcome screen was Snow Leopard.

I enjoyed it also, but I suspect Apple pulled them when they went to this whole Internet recovery download business for OS installs. That video would just make the OS download larger. Just my guess.

I don't think Apple, a company that supports downloadable content more than any other type of storage (DVD, Blu-ray etc...) would care about the lack of bandwidth people have when they're downloading their OS, especially about a video that is 40 seconds long that would only take a hundred megs at most.

I was just offering my opinion why Apple dropped it. I'm not particularly interest in a debate on the topic.

I was just saying that for the sake of the argument. Thanks for your opinion though.
