I like how &quot;multiple windows&quot; is suddenly considered an advanced feature.<p>You&#x27;re confusing simplicity with ease of use. Adding a layer of indirection over the intrinsic file system is <i>not</i> simple, and even ease of use is debatable, since it creates an impedance mismatch by definition.<p>Nor is there any reason to consider this a zero-sum game. Having advanced features does not deprive the common user of their comfort, as they will simply not make use of them.<p>I&#x27;m of course not the target audience for iPads, but let&#x27;s not fool ourselves into thinking they&#x27;re anything but a toy. It takes something much more serious for a new computer generation to usurp its predecessor, and if mobile device manufacturers continue in this fashion, they might win only a technicality - market share. As opposed to the usual test of whether a platform is able to bootstrap its own system software, which iOS and Android emphatically cannot.
