I, for one, am completely excited for the release and look forward to downloading it tomorrow. This has been such a sentimental month for me when it comes to Apple. From Final Cut X to downloadable system software, it feels just so 1999 to me.
It seems like only yesterday when I was ridiculed for ordering a "blue and white overpriced piece of crap" as my co-worker put it. The gall Apple had to release a "pro" series computer with no floppy drive. What could a user do with large (1.44Mb) files? Email them? And let's not forget USB. How ridiculous was it for Apple to use USB, an untested and expensive bus, for keyboards and mice. Speaking of "pro" applications, what about all the pro software that required a dongle to operate? No USB options there. And, duh, how could licensed software be validated without a floppy drive? Maybe Apple has never had the foresight to deal with Pro applications.
Even if the servers run slow tomorrow, or even stop working for a bit, I think that the concept of releasing a major software update via the web is just another example of Apple not moving ahead of the curve, but moving the whole effing curve.:)
