I really think the big thing is the idea of running apps side by side. Otherwise, I don't think apple is necessarily as far behind as this article makes it seem

history repeats itself, 20+ years ago it was windows and Mac OS getting into multitasking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS#.22Classic.22_Mac_OS_.281984.E2.80.932001.29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS#.22Classic.22_Mac_OS_.28...

  ya, but unlike 20 years ago, I feel like the world will not be as divided in mac vs windows world. But I agree, I think we're seeing a cycle of events here

  It is way too early to proclaim that history is repeating itself. 20 years ago Apple were a rudderless ship. Today they are on of the most efficiently operating computer companies out there. They have a vision, they have a solid foundation on which to build, and they have the resources to execute rapidly on that vision.

They have a vision, they have a solid foundation on which to build, and they have the resources to execute rapidly on that vision. Sounds like you're talking about Apple of 1982-84. Apple that had had a several years long run under Jobs. Btw, the vision they execute today is the vision outlined in the Jobs' 30 years old Macintosh business plans.

This is what I hoped the iPad would do (run multiple iPhone apps concurrently at 1x and allow inter-app drags). However, the complexities of this are boggling and will make a nightmarish (or nonexistent) security model. It would trully be OLE, take 2 if it worked at all. This is a year out. When Android 3.0 was previewed 6 months before release, I was amazed. Then I realized how buggy and rushed it was. Apple sets a very high bar for quality. It will be interesting to see if either Google or Microsoft can compete.
