The "overall improved experience and very tightly integrated new features" are nothing less than a major move to shift the entirety of people's computing experiences out of their private computers and onto corporately controlled surveillance servers... er... I mean the "cloud."
Jobs is still Jobs - Mr. "be free from Big Brother" IS Big Brother, with a vengence - but a nice, comfy, easy, group-accepted vengence, of course.
People who even think about privacy (who aren't elite, that is), are SO behind the times. And The Group certainly does not approve.
Oh so sorry, “cloud” isn’t nearly soft enough for Steve’s purposes.
I meant “iCloud.”
LOL
