Sure. I'm not saying there aren't arguments to be made about the difference. What I am saying is that Marco needs to actually make one if he wants to be convincing here. That being said, I'll make two other points: 1. File managers aren't a good example of the benefits of Android's relative lack of restrictions for non-geek users. Good examples are alternative browsers (like Firefox - the best Gingerbread browser, IMO) and alternative, full-featured stores of all kinds (app/books/music/...). 2. Given items like this ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4292754 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4292754 )suggesting that Apple is trying to bring the iOS file system concepts to the Mac, I don't think I'd base an argument on how today's Mac users use the file system.
