I agree, Apple can hide things to make the OS less complex. But what irritates me is that, as a user, I upgrade to the new OS, and the most basic of functionalities is hidden from me. They've literally taken something away. You cannot put a link to your compputer or hard drive on the desktop anymore. Is it not unreasonable to think that your users might want to be able to do this as you've had this hard-drive-on-desktop paradigm for well over 30 years now? I'm glad there's a check box to show the computer on the desktop now. I would never have found that. I mean, 30 years of interface paradigms teaching me to make an alias or simlink there was obviously just some mental retardation on my part...
