Will Finder go away in the future in favor of Launch Pad ? I see myself using Launch Pad more and more than Finder itself. Since this is no problem on the IOS (ipad and Iphone), I don't see why Finder needs to stick around forever.

As for shared network folders/drives etc... These can be on the desktop, or somehow incorporated into Launch Pad. :apple:

No, they perform completely different tasks. AFAIK, you can't search or browse files and folders for documents with Launchpad like you can with Finder.
