Let's not forget about itunes and how that made music organizing very nice and simple to find whatever you wanted. Yes they did make things simple but in today's society with people wanting things to not only work but be fast and reliable. Microsoft shoots themselves in the foot every chance they can. They tinker with stuff and move stuff around just to do it. I mean honestly from the change from XP to vists it took me 5 minutes to change my control panel to the old style. Also Office I mean come one I am certified in Office but the new one made me feel like a complete moron and could not find the things that I was looking for. That is how they lose people. They mess with stuff just to fiddle. But yes I agree with what you are saying. I will also say that it is very scary that we are getting this mobile. +1 for you.

This is all very true, and I appreciate Apple doing a lot of outside-the-box thinking. Unfortunately it always looks bad on the PC world to grab the really neato stuff and cram it into their own things, but in reality, I dont doubt that other companies are trying to develop similar things - maybe their execution is just different or not as well received as Apples is.
Like I said, Apple is masterful at finding ways of making tech stuff "cool", and for ANY tech geek, this a GOOD thing. Just because I don't USE them doesn't mean I cant give them props for doing some stuff well lol.
The new Office threw a lot of people for a loop by the way haha...no need to feel bad about that.
