This should come as no surprise. Apple has been on a crusade against buttons for years. Trackpads are now haptic, the iphones have cast aside the home button years ago. Ive, and Apple by extension, view buttons as the waste of screen space. Replacing the bottom laptop panel with a touchscreen does present some interesting usability options. It also worries me that we are moving ever closer to OS X being replaced with some version of iOS instead of the other way around.
