Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, says they will continue with their philosophy multiple times during the keynote.....of course I'd venture to say its true.....
Unless of course he ceases to be CEO - I don't really understand your jab?
True,Windows has had several of these features for sometime but the likelihood is that it will work consistently and correctly in OSX Mavericks. If you're going to do a job right, sometimes you've just got to wait a little longer for the quality option to come along.
I'm also with you on this. The actual OS looks great, the 'layering' and translucency concepts seems to carry a lot of potential for great UI enhancements in the future, as do the 'parallax'-effect demoed with the home screen.
The icons however are disgusting, at least at first glance. The white backgrounded Safari one is probably the worst, and the Music one seemed pretty horrible at first but when it appeared magnified in the big presentation screen of the Moscone Center it actually looked a bit better. Having said that, I hope a hands-on look at them helps change my mind about this.
I realize that liking/disliking an icon is mainly a question of taste/opinion and that even if I really dislike one lots of people will still love it.
However, being a designer I really feel that these new Apple ones look like drafts, or quick mockups done by someone who never ever designed an icon in their lives (I'm specially looking at you, you ugly stylised safari compass).
Regardless of the truth in your post, first is still first in the eyes of the consumer. Whoever gets the new feature out first is an innovator. Everyone who follows is a copy cat, regardless of if its better implemented or not.
In the end, Apple comes across as lagging behind. Or playing catch up.
iOS 7: Designed by a 9 year old, implementing features you've had on jailbroken iPhones for years
I don't jailbreak, nor does my dad. why shouldn't we have solid features that have been field tested?
Its built into the itunes app, you can skip songs when you want and one touch purchase the song, and wait for it IT IS FREE! I will be deleting all other streaming music apps now.
Yes it is.
I will reserve judgement till I use it.
Not one to allow design to influence my buying decisions, I will give it a try.
I think flat design, since not inherently better or worse than anything else, is just the new shiny - like 10.0 Aqua. Its the new lickable and will pass by soon enough.
I do hope finally Apple will allow devs to create 3rd party keyboards.
I'm so sick of the Apple layout where I have to constantly switch back and forth to get to keys I use all the time.
Very disappointed to find they have not improved their Apple offering

Somehow, somewhere - I am going to use this quote
And maybe even for my signature. Because quite frankly it cuts any argument down on both sides. Fact is - every company has or will borrow from another. Some will improve on it. Some won't. Some might even do it "worse."
At the end of the day - pick the one that "you" like best and stop worrying about the "other" guy.
Developers need it for testing. OS releases are always announced ~3 months before release.
This is a great insight. This is not giving us what we did not know we wanted - this is giving us exactly what the loudest want.
I think it looks too "pretty" and is meant to appeal to the very young and the very old. It's not bad, I like it, but it looks a little too "precious" to me.
I like the new look of OSX a lot more, elegant and professional at the same time, ..as it should.

Call me sad but I think I'm going love the new combined address/search bar on Safari.
Also I hope OSX Mevericks comes with the tap at the top upward scroll.

Pretty good, but the icons will take some getting used to
I was looking forward to what Jony Ive would come up with, and overall I'm not disappointed. This is a nice "refreshing" of the interface we've been accustomed to since 2007. Some elements of the original interface are about ten years old, like the chat interface that dates back to the first version of iChat. That in particular looks pretty good IMO.
However, there's something about those icons. Maybe they're just too "different" from what we're used to?
