Would have preferred Simba though :/

Please don't turn OS X into iOS...

 

[Feek]

I'm getting worried now.

 

[Eatchipz]

Please don't turn OS X into iOS...

Looks like that is what is happening

 

[Kainz]

I'm crapping myself... :/

I've got a bad feeling...

 

[Marky]

Ahaha

Glad they aren't putting touch screens on books...

 

[fini]

Wait a second - was the 'multi-touch' announcement simply 'we're not going to be doing it'??

 

[Marky]

Mac App Store could be quite good...

 

[Eatchipz]

So a like Steam for Mac Apps? Sounds promising

 

[VaderDSL]

For people like my mum/sister a Mac App store would be great, for all other people they will still probably have the normal route of getting programs

 

[apeZ]

I'm actually quite keen on this MacStore. Saves the time of going online and finding programs etc.

but...Mission Control?

 

[JonB]

They did say it wouldn't be the only way to install apps.

 

[tonym]

Mission Control????

Erm.....


Oh, and the Store is down for updating.....

 

[Feek]

So the Launchpad is just a shortcut to a fancy version of the applications folder.

/edit - OK, not quite!

 

[fini]

Isn't Mission Control a bit like Windows 3.1?

 

[Marky]

Looks like Launchpad is just an iPhone-esk way at looking at your "applications" folder...

 

[Kawolski]

Waste of time!

 

[Kainz]

I wonder what developers think of this. Do apps have to be screened in the same way iOS ones are?

'As a Mac user, I really like working with Windows' lol
