The car analogy is cute, but the "afterward" at the end of the article is the most relevant part. I think he's dead on with his analysis of what Apple is doing

The car analogy is cute, but the "afterward" at the end of the article is the most relevant part. I think he's dead on with his analysis of what Apple is doing in that regard. I give Apple points for taking a bold step, although in my opinion it's in the wrong direction. But we do need more boldness in the realm of computer user interfaces, the standard mac/win/*nix interface (and let's face it they're really all the same), is a relic of the last millennium and needs a reboot.
