Removing the floppy drive, being one that I remember very strongly. I feel Leopard support would have been useful, however I&apos;m sure they have a good reason for it.   I actually welcome the App Store and I have some ideas for Mac-specific apps that would be very difficult to market for the money they would achieve and hopefully this will be a good route to market</text></comment>
