[QUOTE="Vagrant, post: 1511766, member: 17009"] What I don't like about ML is precisely the move to integrate iOS and OS X and I agree, I don't think this is anything that will change, it's exactly where Apple wants to go. Changes to Exposé, notifications, auto-save, hidden library folders. I know I can disable a lot of the things I don't want and bring back functionality of a lot of other stuff but it's more the direction the OS is taking in general. As Apple moves to lock down more and more aspects of its devices from the user I wonder what will follow. Admittedly these are all minor nuisances at the moment. Another aspect of this is I haven't seen anything that I personally view as progress in OS X, rather more gimmickry and consumer-minded features like iMessage and Launchpad. I already have more than enough ways to launch an app thanks. I am under no illusion that consumers are where the money is but that's not what I'm looking for. Regardless, I guess I shouldn't place so much emphasis on the OS as it stands right now. It's really the hardware options that are the non-starter at this point. [/QUOTE]
