Yep. My MacBook(late 2007) and MBP(early 2008) both didn't have it.

I guess I've been on my '06 MBP for a while now! It will take some time for command to grow on me, I have always called it the key.

Mainly to aid switchers I think. PC users do not really use an analogous key to do what Macs can do with the various command-click shortcuts. So, in order to make things easier to explain to new users, the Apple was removed and replaced with the verbiage "command" on the key about a year ago so newbies would know what we meant when we provide keyboard command instruction.

Bought my Macbook new from Apple in September 2007 and it has the Apple key.

i just noticed this the other day! what a shame! that button's been on Apple key boards as long as I can remember, and probably since before I was born. I guess I'll never upgrade my early '07 MBP.
