The Mac doesn’t need application extensions such as .doc or .xls to open files, but your PC-using friends still do — don’t forget to add the extensions when emailing them files.
Aha! So Apple does still value the advantage of not having to use stupid filename extensions. The 10.1 extension-hiding debacle still fresh in my mind, I'm leery of the NeXT-heads in Apple right now who seem determined to force the Mac to adopt this PC hack as a native standard, and the seeming defeat at their hands of the old-guard who valued type/creator codes and filenames that can be changed at will without icons and app bindings going poof.
But if this quote is any indication, Apple still knows what's important in computing. The extension-hiding functionality is a way to provide compatibility on files that we download and send out to Windows users on the Net or on CDs, but now that that's in place they can focus on making sure the time-honored Type/Creator code functionality remains the supreme way of doing things within the Mac.
