If that's what happened, you'd be right. It's not and you aren't.

I've spoken, iChatted and emailed with *many* developers who are actually
*at* WWDC. All of them are pretty happy about this. Many of them lined up to
order their Development Kit. Many were still at the Moscone Center last
night, well past closing time, "playing around" with the new machines,
talking, basically happily geeking out.

They don't see it as "downgrading", "shelling out" or any kind of "inferior"
platform nonsense.
