I'm a life long apple user. I grew up using the Apple IIe/c in elementary school back in the 80’s. Then I went to art school in the 90's where almost everything creative was done on Apple machines. I have only ever owned Apple computers. Between my wife and I we have owned about 20 of their devices. We currently have a Mac Pro in the office, which I generally use of my work, a Macbook Pro laptop for my wife, 2 iPhones, 2 iPads and a Mac Mini connected to our TV in the family room, an Apple Time Capsule and an Apple Airport Express. And right now I'm really starting to second think all the reasons I've ever used Apple. It's these sort of asinine decisions that just make them look so out of touch with users and with the actual good things they do. Cover Flow was a great feature that made searching easy -- especially when you just weren't sure what you wanted to listen to. Cover Flow was the equivalent to looking through the albums/cds on your shelf. Why Apple, why? You've got a lot of explaining to do. I won't be upgrading to iTunes 11 until it's added back.
