The apps are not fancy widgets, they're full blown apps, directly to your dock, from a single mouse click. What's bad about that? you can still purchase apps on other places, but now, you'll also have a unified, categorized, place with rating system to look for apps.

Apple is the new Microsoft in people's mind.
As soon as a company become big and make lots of money and become popular; people start to bashing it.
Apple is still a super high quality company. Stop whining about Apple becoming this and that and buy whatcha want.

the term app comes from Apple's use of the word "application" for it's programs. so putting "apps" into OSX technically conflicts with the "applications" that are already there.
just an observation.

App Store: (FYI, they're talking all applications, not just the shitty ones on your iphone). I understand trying to make it easier for grandma and grandpa who just learned the Internet but at least give us pro users the benefit of a doubt. Sounds like they're trying too hard to simplify things for us, which in turn makes it less personable and more restrained and restricted. I'd say that most pro users know how to install an app properly. It sounds like it's becoming less MY computer and more Apple's. Personally, I think the current OS is great. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Fullscreen? I guess that'll probably screw folks with more than one monitor who show two apps at once for better multi-tasking. Wait a minute, isn't fullscreen supposed to make it more efficient?
Adobe and the new App Store: Apple will take the 30% and Adobe will just boost prices up 30%. Guess who pays for that?
Apple going more corporate. Adjusting itself for more mass appeal. Trying way too hard to be mainstream. I don't see this going well for a lot of folks, especially hipsters!
OSX Lion = Microsoft Vista fail!!!

considering mission control was the only thing they announced that not optional, I conclude most of you people are just whiny babies.

Stop whining about computers, it's just the tool. What really matters is the results of your creations. So, stop whining about the damn computer and start working on solid graphic design creations and do your shit.

Installed Lion on my mac this morning. First impressions are that it is pretty slick. Multi-touch gestures are a spectacular addition. Adding them to my work flow will be interesting.
Launch pad has potential - but it puts every shit app on my machine in there - and getting it organized is going to be a pain. But I imagine once I get it just so it'll be nice.
Still exploring - looking for new stuff, but so far I dig it.

Looking forward to this. More so than anything because my mac seriously needs a fresh reinstall and seems pointless doing it with leopard when Lion is out soon. C'moooooooon Lion.

when will they give regular house cats some credit

I too installed it. One machine was fresh, one machine was an upgrade. The fresh installation is much more seamless, and I will be doing that to the other machine as soon as they release it/update apps more.

My MBP has gotten a bit sluggish lately. It's a 2007 version, before the newer ones came out. Still a great computer, but seems slow sometimes. I do have Snow Leopard.
So, if I were to do a fresh install, how can restore all my stuff from TimeMachine WITHOUT adding the OS back to it? There are ways to do that, right?
- pastpastdue0
Yeah, you can do that. I usually take a Time Machine backup and then port everything over individually (preference files, databases, etc.) but I'm pretty sure you can restore from Time Machine Backup and just do Apps and Preferences. I guess I'd rather just have a fresh install and re-install all apps that way there is no bloating.

How did you all update? I still don't have anything in my mac app store, and software update tells me it's up to date.

^ He really over exaggerated his negative introduction for MacOSX. Jesus Diaz forgot that tedious task of clicking a physical button from an application or swiping to unlock your iPad's or iPhone's as required steps to access launchpad. Yet, he hates how you have to click or swipe access launchpad on Lion.
He should take a look at Android's cluster fuck of a launchpad, he'd have a field day.
- pastpastdue0
Yeah, he's hating just to hate. The big problem I have with that article is that it's still 10.x. It's not going to deviate away from the previous versions because it's just another iteration of OSX. If OS XI or whatever is the same, then you hate.
