I was present at Apple's WWDC yesterday and witnessed one of the historical moments in Apple's history, the introduction of their 64-bit platform. Am I impressed? The answer is complicated. I was happy to see Apple moving on and deliver. But I would have expected nothing less from a 4 billion tech company who had the need to catch up with the "other" platform, the 32-bit PC. You all heard by now what's new in yesterday's press releases and news coverings. But here is a wrap up of the first day of the conference and a commentary on what Apple really announced yesterday, underneath its surrounding distortion field.

OS X has been out for 2 years and you could have had smooth scrolling for quite some time now.
What? I'm writing this on a Mac I bought this year, and scrolling in Safari is not nearly as fast as Net+ used to be on my 300MHz BeOS box. After all, if scrolling had never been an issue for OS X, why did Jobs make such a great deal out of the fast scrolling in Preview?
As I get from your comments, you have only seen the demo but never owned a MacOS X computer, is that assumption correct? If so, I'd recommend you to first spend a week with a current Mac (or better, one that's two years old) before praising the smooth scrolling of OS X. Things look a lot faster in demos because you don't notice how long it takes after a click until something happens.
