Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - the death knell of the Mac as we know it

You can't go one step without falling down the slope? When was there ever a slippery slope? Sufficient research and consumner use of touch screens came up with some interesting features also controllable by a mouse (which optionally can be a touchpad/trackpad), so we were all allowed to benefit.<p>We went into space. Why didn't we move off the planet? But we did get Velcro.

"I predict that Mac OS X 10.8 or 11 – whichever number they choose – will also remove this, and all Apple devices will only ship with touch screens." - this does not make sense.<p>There was a quite recent keynote where Steve said this precise solution is impossible for usability reasons, and won't be implemented. You can't comfortably operate a vertically aligned touchscreen. That's why they went with huge trackpads.

I moved from Windows to Mac about 3 years ago and I still miss an easy way to maximise a window to full screen. I prefer to see only one thing at a time, I find it much less distracting. Full screen mode, if done right, would be great for me. At least the choice of full screen or how it is now would be good.
