We got our hands on the new MacBook Air after the keynote! It's lightweight! And thin! As it should be! Apple says it's 20 percent thinner in volume than the last version. Sadly, too many people were crowding around the new midnight and starlight colors, so here's the silver:

We were able to see the new MacBook Airs briefly over at Steve Jobs Theater. Some Apple executives were roaming freely there as well, including Jeff Williams, Phil Schiller and Greg Jozwiak. Williams declined to answer my questions about any supply chain challenges Apple (or the broader industry) might be experiencing. 

Tim Cook made a brief appearance, posing in front of the (untouchable) display of MacBook Airs.

Why does Apple need to name this though? Why call it Stage Manager? This implies that Apple still is in control of your desktop/Home Screen.

You'll also be able to create groups of windows to switch between.
