Thanks, Derrick. That has to be the best commentary yet on this year's MacWorld. Reading the rumor forums lately has been making me insane with all the complaints. I thought it was great. GarageBand is incredible. John Mayer was perfect. Steve was, as usual, great to watch. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Also, I switched less than a year ago, from Linux. I've no complaints. Thanks for not continuing the trash talking I've been seeing.

  I also think the forum-folk have been too hard. They were all expecting $100 ipods and that wasn't going to happen...not this macworld!
  
  I personally thought it was a pretty good keynote. I too would've liked a free iphoto download but as I play guitar I'll probably play with Garageband so the iLife price is worth it.
  
  BTW, I'm also a Linux->Mac switcher so you're not alone

  total agreement. it was like the days when the small speed bumps of powermacs made people want to rip their hair off. sometimes the rumors take a life of their own and people just assume that what is being touted is fact. i just saws the keynote online for the first time and was just smiling in enjoyment of the festivities. There was an air of this thing continuing all year. I wouldn't be too afraid to say that this is a yearlong Keynote. Last year was a breakthrough year for developers, this year for the larger section of consumers and even enterprise. Kinda of a rebirth for apple in a sense.
