It was clear that it was the iOSification of the desktop OS. When Lion was announced and the features previewed last year, I really struggled to see anything compelling in the release. Even though the iTunes data itself was migrated off the now-comparatively-weedy 120Gb internal drive a couple of years ago, I’ve continued to struggle for a comfortable amount of available disk space, but I still use the Mac for all of those things and I can’t really think of a viable alternative, despite the cloudification of many of the other services I use and their associated data. Main use cases for the Mac continue to be Keynote – by far the best presentation software available on any platform, in my opinion Lightroom and iMovie and iTunes, which is firmly embedded in my life as a sync source for my iPhone and for organising my music library. I moved from Windows to Ubuntu on my day-to-day work machine, and my computing life fragmented to include a netbook, smartphones, and most recently a tablet (which is yet another of those things I keep meaning to write about!). Over time though, it has become less central to my computing experience.

In fact, the journey has been more-or-less chronicled here on my blog since acquiring a MacBook Pro in 2007. I’ve been a Mac user for a little over four years now. There are simply so many things to write about lately, but the one which has finally prompted a post is this:
