NO WORKY!
The GUI has change slightly, gone are the horizontal stripes, the gumdrop widgets appear sunken into the surface rather than sitting on top of a window hence there is less shadow and the appearance is less murky and shadowed. Not hints regarding the metallic look hopefully it will stay to the iApps and Safari, Quicktime. Besides these GUI changes and Expose, iChat let’s this upgrade is snappier than Jag on older G4’s.
It’s gone…

The screenshot showing the window with the hard drive, iDisk etc is a Finder window. Sorry pal, looks like the brushed metal theme has been extended to Finder as well. Personally, I don’t mind it, but for those who do, here’s hoping that Unsanity’s Metallifizer will work with Panther. I also agree, I would like Panther to address the performance issues, but if the steady progress up to Jaguar is any indication, I’m sure it will. Let’s not forget, fellow Mac fans, OS X is still a young operating system.
It seems that 4OSX is down due to the Slashdot effect, but Deskmod has it mirrored here.
Exclusive…hehehe….you guys/gals are cute. I love the new finder and smart folders!.
someone will hack the Finder so no worries

Note to kerryb: The stripes are still technically there (though not as pervasive) but the contrast has been reduced significantly.
Also glad to see the logical consolidation of several System Preference panes.
Labels implementation looks cute. I hope there are customisable names attached to them.

I like the general interface, less murky, really faint pinstripes. Expos� sounds a little silly but I’ll have to wait to see it in action. The ‘Xdrive’ thing looks really really stupid, like Windows XP! Geez! Why is it necessary to group desktop and screensaver in preferences? I liked them seperate, a little easier to figure out and less like Windows’ ‘Display’ control panel. Yay! Labels and folder actions!
Jaguar was really earth-shatteringly awesome and I’m hoping Panther will live up to that but I’m not counting on it now that I’ve seen these screenshots.
Umm…Dan, ‘Xdrive’ may be the name of the drive in the screenshot, but may not be the default name, in fact I doubt it will be, and in any case you can always change it. The fact that the Screen Effects and Desktop panes appear to have been consolidated says nothing about how they will function now, so it’s useless to speculate. Maybe they’ll be even more intuitive, who knows. We should all just contain our impatience until Monday, then we’ll find out for sure.
looks good to me.
osx is a great OS that needs more power, looks like you guys are goint to get the full deal with the 970 and panther
snappier?��
Not Voice in iChat. Is OSX an inferior OS?
Yahoo, ICQ, MSN Messenger, HAS Voice message in their windows programs? Why not in Mac?
Subchat, the Mac OS 9 version of AIM does have a voicechat feature, it hasn’t been implemented in any client for OS X…for shame. iChat is a program for OS X, so is the official AIM client, so is Adium, none are part of the OS so that does not make the OS itself inferior, it makes all the AIM clients for OS X inferior.
Dan. Why is so difficult to have a Voice Message in OS X? May be the problem is OS X
here are the photos still –

I’m new to mac, coming from linux(1 year with linx)
Mac OS, at first I thought, damn, another linux wannabe, but reading the reviews, I hear it’s actually based on BSD and it run apps and games, my god, same as windows but without the broken up source.
This has unix source and, oh my god, a linux kernel….amazing.
So, I can now do coding, run many good decent apps and games.
one question though, if these companys are porting games and apps to mac, why not linux, same source? right!
ah well, mac looks a bit sexier in a way.
oh, can I, if i wanted, run my old favourite, KDDE desktop(http://www.kde.org)
if i can, great.
mac is really an all-around-os, does evrything that windows does(except for crashing and freezing) goodbye windows…..once agin, bill has lost another customer, what am i talking about, *cough* did’nt evan pay for my window$s anyway*cough*, installed a mates corprate windows disc on to my machine.
