    Autosave, Version and Resume are major improvements, and long overdue for desktop OSes.

    "iCloud... When it is down, that is actually a feature."

    When it's down, it's called iFog.

    They should call it "Apple Mac OS X Cloud 2011 Premium Home Edition R2 SP1"

    I'm a huge Apple fan, but even I think this stuff with the "i" branding is just stupid and faintly embarrassing. Every Apple product has a fraeking "i" before it's otherwise utterly unimaginative name? "iCloud" - FFS.

    Well, they used to start everything with "Mac", but too many people would be saying "there can be only one" if they called it MacCloud.
