As a longtime Mac user (since the 80s) , it pains me to think my next purchase won't be a Macintosh, but I can't ignore the writing on the wall any longer. Apple used to be about freedom and creativity - now they just want to give the best user experience while keeping users safe and maximizing profits. Not an all-together horrible goal, but also not the kind of computer I want to use. I want a computer, not a toaster or a microwave. People have for years called mac kid computers, and I never really agreed with them before now. This kind of development really puts the final nail in the coffin though. These computers are made for people who simply want a locked down boring experience. It's a sign of the times, just look at the TSA.
