It's true, and I wasn't expecting them to say anything like that. Of course they would trumpet it as a revolution, it would indeed be terrible marketing if they didn't.
My post was muddled, so I guess what I was really trying to say is this: Most of the tech reporting I have seen around this event has uncritically parroted most of these claims. This bodes poorly for getting accurate information in areas where it isn't as obvious to me. It caught me off guard this time because I saw it being done by several resources which I had previously viewed as being more in-depth and trustworthy. I guess it's like reading an article in the newspaper about a topic you know quite well. It makes you incredibly suspicious of reporting on topics you don't know as much about.
