I think I've tried that at one point but I seem to remember there being a potential for data loss. Do I remember correctly?

The Apple explanation was pure semantics. They couldn't get their head around to how "Cut-Paste" would suddenly work like "Move" in the Finder. And for some reason there was no possibility to call it "Move" instead and allow it from the keyboard. It's not logical from a mathematician's point of view but it's logical from a practical point of view.
I tell you, sometimes Apple is paranoid about people's incapability of understanding how things work. Cut-paste with the keyboard is intuitive because from a user's point of view it works like in every other application. CMD-drag (when you're transferring between drives) and drag without CMD when on the same drive, is really not.
But I know Apple will not introduce it. So I have to use Adobe Bridge for file management.
That's not my point. I can't understand why some people think if I don't like a single aspect of Mac OS Finder, I should migrate to Windows. It's like saying: "You don't like that hole in the sidewalk? Move out of the country!"
Well move then! I'm fed up of users complaining about how Mac OS X is evolving when, clearly, the changes are for the better for pro-users. This colour timing is once instance, and its a graphic artists dream to work on a plainer canvas.
If you want pretty colours and icons, then go for Windows. Microsoft obviously needs them more...
The Tilde button does not exist on other than english keyboards. I like Photoshop's CTRL-TAB to cycle through windows but I'm also a big fan of Expose.
Has anyone wondered what's the use of launchpad? I mean it's just like opening your applications window in a fullscreen finder.I don't understand what the big deal is :S
Could you enable the advanced memory view so we can see what your swap file looks like?
Hey I have exactly the same laptop!
Can you tell which apps are faster and which apps are slower? When I upgraded from Leopard -> Snow Leopard, everything was faster except Safari and Firefox... But maybe that's just me.
What?

They could've just enhanced the Applications folder view, make that like mini-launchpad instead of being fullscreen.
On my 21.5" iMac I have to move my mouse all over the screen just to get an app, and the launchpad is on the left hand side of the dock and you can't move it. I can only imagine what it's like on a 27" iMac!
isn't there a gesture for launchpad? if there isn't , i really hope they make one!
nah, apple owns the copyright of the Lion OS.
The Finder is still a joke. Why isn't there a simple cut & paste to move files, folder ect.. around.
So sick of this, Windows does this perfectly.
WIndows 7 is far superior os.

It does. Look on top of the TAB key. In the English keyboard it is next to the Left Shift key.
There is, four finger pinch.

I guess there's not a YouTube notification for "This video has been removed due to a EULA violation claim by Apple, Inc."
On top of the TAB key is the § key with SHIFT ° and ALT ¶. No tilde. Tilde is the ALT of the key to the left of ENTER. Could be some West-European keyboards also have the tilde but I doubt it since people complain about Photoshop's usage of the tilde key pretty unanimously around Europe.
It would be so nice if UI designers would finally contain key features to buttons that exist universally. I find it hard to believe they are unaware that the software is used on different keyboards.

Then switch back to windows. Seriously, if color in the sidebar is what makes or breaks OSX for you, you may as well stick with windows.
The sensationalism in this thread is hilarious and sad. I saw an older version of iTunes on a friends computer yesterday, and it looked so childish and outdated to me because of the color icons in the sidebar. You'll get used to it. I for one welcome the change, as it removes visual clutter and creates consistency, something Apple has always strived for. Its why they also changed the home folder styles in leopard, removing color and creating an embossed look, so this change is in the same vein and shouldnt surprise anyone.
Windows looks like a multiple-clown homicide. Colours all over the place, transparency-glass-hell. Looks like it was designed by Flava Flav on a bender.
Clearly an attempt to add OS X-like eye-candy to the UI, but as usual MS ended up making it look like a dog's breakfast.
Meanwhile Apple's UI decisions show taste and a "less is more" approach that is quite refreshing.

Weird, is there on my cousin's MacBook (UK I think). It is on my MacBook Pro's (formerly US, but now Arabic). See here:

EDIT: There is your problem, some of the European keyboards have a different key next to the Shift. French, Belgian, Danish, and Croatian are some. It gets really confusing when using a computer from an Arabic country, as you get both layouts each with different variations of the positioning of Arabic letter, plus then you get the US layout with Arabic letters, also with several positions, then you get the Arabic version of the Mac keyboard, which itself has its own positioning of letters.
PS. Nice MacBook

It IS a big deal. Everything in Lion is actually a very big deal. And you thinking that the launchpad is the "same" like opening a finder window in fullscreen means you are missing the whole philosophy behind Lion and what it is trying to accomplish.
It is okay though, in a couple of years you will find out.
If you make a movie of, say, a painting, there are two copyrights involved: the painter's and the videographer's. The videographer has already infringed the painter's copyright unless he had permission to record the painting. And he can't distribute or display his movie without permission of the painter.
