Not for him, I know how he uses his mac similarly to how someone uses Linux, he is really efficient. His desktop is empty, no dock, programs or files launch from searches, uses shortcuts for everything, virtual desktops, uses terminal for specific programs, etc. Loves the keyboard, hates the mouse... It's crazy to watch. He likes the build quality of the computer and being able to use a Unix based system to mold it for his needs.

But yeah, was surprised to see him react like that and consider a Linux distro after the announcement of this ipad launcher, which you could even uninstall for all we care. It's just a reaction to that "post-pc" development, though this guy is an outlier, don't see the common person have the same problems as him. I'm sure my brother-in-law can't wait for the update.

Now it makes more sense. If you're used to using one UI and you're really good at it, having that radically changed is going to be a pain. But that goes for anything people can get used to, and change happens from time to time.
