Im in the same situation as Matt… What gives apple the edge for me is their tight integration… Microsoft has 20+ years of poorly designed API’s and lack of integration and Apple has finally built a better mouse trap. I think its interesting that Maria refers to Apple’s tight integration as a gimmick. This “gimmick” is what differentiates Apple from their competition. I think in this context one could replace the word “gimmick” with “true innovation”. What has Microsoft invented lately but yet another bulky, bloated non user friendly OS that is barely integrated with itself?

Erica,
Random question: Are they going to get rid of widgets? Not that I have strong feelings on the matter either way, but I looked at my dashboard for the first time in what felt like years. Looks like most of the widgets I downloaded way back when are no longer supported. I’ll be honest, I’m a little surprised that it made the cut for OS X Lion. Will we see apps that are similar to the ones on the iOS take the place of widgets?

Like how only a handful of people will fall for the Google services gimmick?

Sadly people don’t know what they are missing. I used PC’s for the first 20 years of my life exclusively. Running DOS (only), Windows, Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, 95, 98, XP, Vista, and now 7. But I also use Mac. I prefer the Mac but my employer like so many others have an IT department that can’t see the benefits to them from Apple.

Apple could not compete in the PC world, as Microsoft ate Apple’s lunch since 1995. Hopefully with this mobile OS they will have more success, unless Android eats their lunch! Good Luck Apple, only a handful of people should fall for this gimmick!

Just how much could they charge before a flood of complaints hit the inter webs? $5 or $10?

“Mountain Lion” will be available to public this summer. Is this the preparation for next iphone 5 (http://harryminhas.wordpress.com/2011/02/09/iphone-5/)? iMessage, twitter integration & iCloud will boost apple’s image in social communication and will also increase sale of Apple macs. No doubt Apple will bring these features to their new iTV product.
