This is something Microsoft would do… hell, something Microsoft *has* done. Apple, on the other hand, understands that the use of a dekstop computer, or a laptop, is different that the use of a tablet or other touch device. Are there good ideas from iOS that will migrate and have migrated to OS X? Of course. But 10.7 and 10.8 both show us that Apple is going to be restrained about what it does, and the biggest UI changes are around the consumer products to make them more iOS like (and therefor more familiar to the majority of users). If a version of OS X comes out without a Terminal.app and without the ability to install applications from sources not vetted by Apple, then that will be the first OS I don't install, btu I do not think that will happen. What I do expect to see happen is a further hardening of OS X (making it harder to install other apps and making it harder for those apps to fuck you), and a simplification of the UI to the point where the default user is more guided and more constrained and less vulnerable, and where more experienced users have an environment more like a "Standard" User now. In fact, I am surprised this has not happened. I really thought that 10.8 would have Apple creating a standard user and an Admin user, and logging the default user in as Standard. Instead, they went with expanding the capabilities of the Recovery Partition in 10.7 and making real fundamental security improvements to the whole OS. The fact is that right now, if you want, OS X is as secure as anything out there. Enable a firmware password and File Vault and no one is getting at your data for a few million years unless your password sucks. You can't get around it with a eprom reset, a physical disk, or even a hex dump of the drive itself. Now, will a touch enabled iMac change this? Sure, to some extent it could, if that seems like a viable product. I am not at all convinced that it is. I know one thing, If I want to type a message this long, I never want to do it on a touchscreen. > I expect the desk top computer to go the way of the console radio, and > the laptop to merge with a future super-iPad, which will have the > capacity to edit the most complex files and connect with devices like > today's computers. Apple itself removed the word "computer" from its > corporate name, so I would suppose that it will be called a super-iPad, > not a computer. desktop computers will go the way of the pickup truck. Not everyone needs to own a pickup truck, but some people really really need one and most everyone needs to borrow one at some point. Will most people be running around with iPads (or whatever) in 5 years instead of laptops and desktops? Absolutely. All? Absolutely not. Right now, if I were willing to encode all my years of recorded video into iTunes compatible format, my entire household could get by with my computer, our 2 AppleTVs, and our iPads. But my computer is critical because it is the one with many TB of storage and all the TV and movies ripped/recorded to it. I am *not* willing to convert everything, so I need a Mac mini to talk to the TV, and I like using the old MBP so I don't have to sit at the computer all the time, and there are times my wife wants a computer and so there is a second mini for her so her schedule doesn't impact mine. But in terms of actual needs, one computer, 2 AppleTVs, and our iPads would cover 99%. -- So now you know the words to our song, pretty soon you'll all be singing along, when you're sad, when you're lonely and it all turns out wrong...
