For those who were here during SL launch

Still all bull....



Only non-power users couldn't easily fix that.



Not gone...just different. It's called "Duplicate". Also, as has been explained to you previously, this is up to the app developer.



Again, something new offering more power.



Plenty of people, power users and not, find it useful...and something you never have to use if you don't want to.



Maybe. But I would argue it is "natural" if you consider you are manipulating the windows instead of the window controls.



Really? I would love to hear this.



Not dumbed down, moved out of the way. They can be turned on easily enough ig you can't handle it.



Now you are reaching....



Cost saving move that matches up well with the direction software distribution is going. Recovery partition is a nice touch. What this has to do with "dumbing down", I'll never see.



Newbie? How about cleaned up and still configurable as to content.

You failed.......big time.

Since you missed the point I was trying to make I can see why you said I failed.

One example only; Of course anyone can find a way around the hidden user/library. I fixed mine in Terminal and was done with it. The point was that Apple thought I didn't need to see my library folder and new users might not even know such a thing was there. iPhone simplicity.

No, I didn't miss you your point. I just happen to think it is invalid. Why would the average non-power user need the Library folder to be visible in the Finder?

I suspect Apple got plenty of support calls with problems that ended up being self-inflicted by people messing with the contents of the user account Library folder. Sounds like a great reason to hide it from the typical user to me.

Having spent almost a decade supporting an OS for a major computer manufacturer, I can tell you this is not a bad thing at all.
