I concur. Before the announcement I wanted to buy a new MacBook Pro to replace my three year-old MacBook Air, but I was disappointed in what was announced (MacBook keyboard with very little key travel, being limited to 16GB RAM, and the other upgrades being rather incremental). I plan to stick to my MacBook Air for a while longer since it's in perfectly working condition.

My ideal situation would be to migrate to PC hardware, but the problem is I'm dissatisfied with the OS situation there. Windows is still annoying to use after all of these years, the Linux desktop experience seems to always be perpetually behind OS X and even Windows, and making a Hackintosh is an EULA violation (which matters to me since I use my computers in public, professional environments). I agonized about this over three years ago before eventually succumbing and buying a MacBook Air despite my dissatisfaction with Apple's trend toward non-upgradeable computers. I don't want to buy another non-upgradeable computer, but I don't like Windows and the Linux desktop, either.

I would be very interested in some sort of alternative OS, and I think the time is ripe for the development of one.
