It seems to me impossible for Apple or anyone else to make a computing machine that will satisfy all users. With each new OS, some users will say, "I can't deal with this" and either keep their old OS as long as they can or "desert" to Linux or Windows. I don't see any reason for getting emotional about this; that just plays into the hands of those who accuse Mac users of being "fanbois" with no brains. :-) We're just talking about machines, here; if one machine doesn't satisfy you, get another one.
