"Either people can't handle massive interface changes, in which case your second point is wrong. Or they get used to it fairly quickly, in which case your first point is wrong. Which one is it?"

you are assuming that ALL people are the same. people well react differently to things. though the MASSES will likey get used ot the changes in a month like the previous poster said. the tech savey will take about 5 minutes, and then each day explore something cool by mistake (since we are tech savey and saw no reason to do the "take a tour of the new features option" ;) .

I am really waiting ot see Apple's adds when this comes out and people like it.

"hello I'm a mac"
"and I'm a PC"
mac: "i hear you upgraded to windows 7"
pc: ya, its pretty good, boot time is fast, UI is nicely revamped, nice and responive, suports tons of codecs and features users have wanted for years, and its sister server (2008 R2) is incredible."
mac: ....well, ....you ...your a butt head"
pc: "very mature..."
