Re:About the "Brushed Metal" Apps (Score 1)

I agree completely, and I think it is intentional on Apple's part. Even the original Mac had at least one window that didn't really fit the "everything is either a document or a container of documents" model, namely the control panel, and that's part of the reason the control panel was confusing for people.

So now Apple has decided to have two window styles; pinstripe for docs and brushed metal for apps. As for Safari, if you think of the web as a delivery system for multimedia content, it makes sense for Safari to look like a player rather than a document viewer.
