I can tell from a number of reports available that basically have no resolutions higher than 1920x1200, when we know there are enough retina displays out there that they should be …

Heh, come to my primary care clinic, I’ll introduce you.

There was some networking shit, a few utilities and shell enhancements, what else? I don’t think much of NT was shoehorned into Me, correct me if you think otherwise.
