I am not at all excited. I used to be when Apple events were events. Now they could be covered with a Press release as there is not really anything to see except more bugs, poor UI design and features that nobody wants.

I am excited for this week. While it is unlikely I'll buy new Apple Products from this line of release, it is interesting to see nevertheless.
