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.

Sorry, but OSX is out for 2-3 years now. If you are telling me that I had to wait FOUR years in order to get something as simple as smooth scrolling/resizing, then I find the Apple decision to go with vectors, BAD.
Microsoft waited till Win2K to bring stability to Windows. Although most people forget that Microsoft had two operating systems that were top notch in stability in the 80ies(MS Xenix and MS OS/2).
The resizing bit is important but it's not that serious of a problem. I don't resize my apps often I guess.
