I doubt getting "300 people" to spam Tim Cook is the best way to approach this.
The typeface in many new OS X 10.8 apps is Helvetica. The typeface of OS X is Lucida Grande.
I bet this changes in 10.9. At least, for Retina machines. There's a reason why iOS uses Helvetica Neue as the system font, and not Lucida Grande. It looks better on sharper displays.
The new iMessage app in 10.8 lacks instant messenger integration with services such as MSN, AIM, and Jabber, forcing the use of a different application for these features.
Erm. Those services are still there. Same as ever -- which never included MSN in the first place. Hell, theres a new framework, IMServices, which lets you add support for new services to Messages.app.

Personally I think emailing Tim Cook will give you nothing more than emotional satisfaction.
Hell, at least when you emailed Steve Jobs you'd get the satisfaction of a glib, dismissive response and a story to tell your grandkids.
I don't think sending an e-mail is the right way to get this info out to them. Honestly though, do we really think that they don't know most, if not all, of this? I think that a lot of it is quite nit-picky, and in the scheme of things, whether or not these changes happen isn't going to make-or-break it for Apple in any significant way.
Yes, and I mean that in regard to the Mac Pro and iPod Classic, too.

Apple don't seem to have done anything particularly innovative in a while.
He’ll have no choice but to reply to 300 people or more.
Yes, he has plenty of choices. Forward it to a subordinate, select an canned response from his email client/intranet, ignore it ...

It creates marvelously built and human products that are designed to express the very human soul.
Oh for pity's sake. They make expensive hardware that looks and feels nice.

i'm sure he will bend over backwards to do the bidding of a self-appointed internet expert.
