![]() But that's perhaps exactly why it's been baked into OS X, and soon, Windows 8: It's a core thing we do now, so of course it's part of the system. While it's necessary on mobile devices, given the constraints of screen size and limited multitasking, sharing stuff has never been a problem on desktops, per se. The sharing button is one of the more interesting mobile interaction bits to come to the desktop from mobile. It's strange on iOS and straight awful on OS X. But it also pulls over the strange skeuomorphic aesthetic that's been slowly evolving for iOS: fake leather textures, torn pages, the appearance of actual notepads and reminder books. Which, great! OS X could use a native Notes and Reminders app. The Reminders and Notes apps are straight out of iOS. There are a lot of new multitouch gestures: three-finger tap to preview, two-finger, edge-to-edge swipe to reveal the Notifications Center, and pinch-to-zoom in Safari for a new tab view. OS X is becoming super touch-centric, in its own way. For instance, it's actually easy to move stuff from your computer to your TV now, if you have an Apple TV with AirPlay mirroring. End result: If you have a Mac, there's more of a reason than ever to own other Apple devices, and vice versa, because they're finally designed to play well together with iCloud and AirPlay. Messages brings iMessage to the Mac, meaning you can bug your friend on their iPad or iPhone from your computer, though the app is a little clunky, especially if your friend has several possible iMessage addresses (phone number and a couple email addresses). Which means, hopefully, you never lose a document again - and you can revert back to previous versions. It's kind of like Dropbox or Google Docs, since it stores your document in the cloud and then syncs it across all of your devices. You can save documents to your iCloud Document Library instead of your hard drive. It works pretty well, once you have it set up. iCloud hooks into Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Documents and Data, Reminders and app preferences and syncs them between your Mac and any iOS devices you have.
