“… it's what makes Lion the most colossal fail in the history of fails from Apple …”
What? What?!
The only 1:1 ported tablet feature I know of is Launchpad (and it does suck, don’t get me wrong) which is, however, completely optional and doesn’t even get in the way.
Launchpad does not make Lion a colossal failure. That’s impossible.
Other stuff might, but it has little to do with trying to bring tablet concepts to the desktop. Apple clearly hasn’t attempted to do that, at least not 1:1.
Sure, Apple added fullscreen apps but those have been a staple of Windows forever, I don’t think dragging tablets into this makes any sense whatsoever. And you might not like the new simplified Spaces and Exposé but they do not have any tablet equivalents. They are all desktop, all the time.
Auto saving, resume and Versions are obvious features for any operating system, the tablet/desktop distinction doesn’t make any sense when looking at those features. Operating systems should support them, no matter the device. That’s it.
So what’s the problem? People have been complaining about bugs and some don’t like Mission Control or the way fullscreen apps are implemented. I see little relation of those complaints to Apple trying to bring iOS to OS X. (I also want to note that Lion has received a large number of positive reviews. Your claims of it being a colossal failure are definitely a minority opinion.)
