1) I do believe as well that people should calm down and focus on the basics: "are they respecting the shipping promised they made me, yes or no?". As the answer looks to be a yes, that's it for me.
This said:
2) I frankly can't care less if its a logistical nightmare to deal with custom configured machines: they sell them, they created the backlog, they are a computer company, its their problem. If they cant do it im fine with it, i cant do it either, thats why im not selling them.
3) Like with the AppleTV update, i do understand that its a freakin' nightmare to design an interface...but again...im not selling 300$ revolutionary devices saying that within two weeks i will release an update for them.
4) As Apple gets bigger (from computer to music to phones to movies) it tends to get very corporate, missing deadlines, releasing patches over patches, etc. I believe thats pretty much unavoidable when you get seriously big, but it's always going to come too late the day in which they will stop singing to themsleves that they're "so "different", because fact is, they're not so much anymore. And to me they're rapidly crossing the thin line between being cool and being arrogant.
Bottom line: dont sell what you dont have.
