And what about those who use a drawing tablet and no apple mouse/trackpad? Basically all of the swiping/multitask stuff does nothing for me.
More thoughts:
It might be CHEAPER for developers, since they're not paying for server time, bandwidth and people to maintain that. Or the cost they're paying to Apple might be counterbalanced by massively increased exposure.
Wow, those 10 extra pixels at the top mean so much more space.
Unless they have moved everything over to 64Bit this will be slow as crap.
So they are now saying mission control is magical, it's a rebranding of something that worked perfectly well before.

They were right - all the window management things were getting out of control...Mission Control looks like a fantastic attempt to get them under control again.

The whole "Back to the Mac" thing is really disappointing. I assumed that Steve was talking about bringing new innovations to the Mac, not bringing iOS features over to Mac OS X.
Needless to say, I am incredibly disappointed with Steve and Apple.
What they're talking about here is a huge jump forward for most non-techie users. No installation process, minimal learning curve, one-stop-shop for new software, vastly simpler user interface without loosing power features, consistency between portable devices and desktop.... IF they pull off the implementation properly (and don't stuff up the existing OS which it looks like they haven't so the power user stuff is still there and not hidden) this makes 10.7 VASTLY easier and more useful to the majority of users than Windows 7 or, for that matter, 10.6.
As of 11:08 I would call this thing a snoozer - poorest presentation I have seen from Steve during the iLife yada yada.
His minions are certainly not awe inspiring based on their presentations.
