Why do you think Apple ditched the Intro Videos?

I didn't notice that when reinstalling lion. Dont know why they did it...

Ill send an email to Steve.

Probably because it's pointless and nobody cares. We want to use the OS not see a video.

Got lazy..............................

I know people that work for Apple's graphical and animation department, and I remember that one of the first things I did when I got Lion was to shoot the email asking them this. I later got a reply explaining that they did not find it necessary and useful to the OS, and that they felt that users wanted to dive right in. They did say that at one point that they were planning on including it, and the code still exists if they want to add the video again, but they did not have enough time and did not want to waste the effort.

I think it's another one of their plans to streamline things and make it more like ios. Personally I think that they are heading down the wrong path and turning the once powerful, feature laden, and advanced OS into a piece of shit just like ios.

dunno, maybe to make the download little lighter, anyway who care

My thought is that they know millions of people already know this video and it isn't necessary to show it again at each major update.

Is it only at first getting the computer, not the update now? I think that makes sense.
