Apple doesn't seem to care about those of us who want matte screens on an MB, as if it were some sort of luxury. Nevermind the fact that back in the PPC days, ALL the notebooks were matte.
I blame the generic PC market for doing this. Until 2005 or so, matte screens on notebooks were the standard accross all PC makers. Then glossy became popular because customers were bedazzled by the "shiny" quality of the glossy screens
And then of course the macbooks came out in 06, and the end of the matte screen for consumer notebooks came about.
And those screens are practically unusable for someone like me, who uses his notebook on public transportation daily. The reflections off that screen during the day make it useless. I'm sticking with my iBook G4 until something changes. It seems to handle Leopard OK anyway.
