Considering how many more iOS devices Apple has shipped ( 250 million) versus the Mac install base (58 million), it's unsurprising that Apple would look to making its desktop operating system more like the mobile one - not the other way around. Most of the usability changes are philosophical and support an Apple worldview about computers and mobile devices: Features like multi-touch gestures (including reversing the direction of the scroll pad), LaunchPad (which presents apps in a way reminiscent of iOS) or full-screen apps all derive from behaviors taken from Apple's mobile operating system. Priorities aren't all in the right place, compared to previous OS X releases, with changes made for Apple's benefit - such as trying to unify many behaviors with iOS - and increased complexity where simplicity should be priority. Others will disagree, but I see in Lion many uncharacteristic user interface and file system changes that smack of Windows Vista. Also, I find the hardware options, particularly the all-important display and resolution, to be much better from Windows PC manufacturers than Apple in the same price range. Lion is the first Mac operating system that I don't like.

Mac OS X 10.7 - aka "Lion" - is major, but not only, reason.
After more than two months using the Samsung Series 5 Chromebook running Google's Chrome OS, I didn't go back to the Mac but to Windows 7.
On October 6, I made a dramatic, personal computing switch.
