with mountain lion arguably including (or becoming) ios, isn't it obvious that windows 8 is becoming windows mobile, or it's phone os?
mountain lion fully explains win 8, to me at least.
anyone??

OSX is still very powerful compared to iOS.
I think Apple is taking some of the features from iOS and porting them into OSX, in an attempt to unify the experience.

But iOS for many will be all they need; as in iPad mainly, which can take the place of a laptop for many folks who just need email, surfing, music, gaming, and things like facebook and twitter, etc.
There are some great things that I would love to see ported to OS X through the App Store; iBooks is one but there are many others (mainly games and specialty apps that would work really well on OS X).
I am glad that Apple is still giving people the choice on OS X how they wish to handle installations; App Store only, App Store and Chosen Developers (I would like to choose those developers, btw, as well as have the list, and they give that ability too apparently), and everything which could present problems like Windows deals with now.
I think there will be kinks ... and I hope those can be worked out amicably. I do not wish to be restricted in what I choose to run on my system. I use many Open Source programs and will continue to do so.

Granted, I bet Apple would come up with a clever way to do it, like having an iPad dock to a macbook pro type keyboard and such. When it is docked, it is a full fledged computer, when undocked, more like a tradition iOS device. That would be really cool.
Of course, the inclusion of iOS features could just be that- adding some nice features from iOS to OSX.

I hope that the inclusion of iOS features is just that - adding some very nice features to OS X. Definitely.
Either, way, user choice will be very important.

Sadly, though, I think Apple is going the "computer as an appliance" route. Microsoft is not far behind. I think the whole market will eventually move in that direction.
