Even in the early stages, it looks pretty good!
Are these from the fired Apple employees?
MDN word “Maybe” how appropriate.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, should not show all of these screenshots of Apple’s next OS. Its like I know what’s inside a christmas gift.
well..
Grid space adjustment for Finder windows and sprint loaded Dock folders: good. The rest: meh.
I got all excited and then realized these are the same pictures they posted over the weekend – see my post in the comments (about the fourth one down or so).
And, yes, I have no life.
• Leopard’s new Trash window
Well its not really that new. Its just the same as usual with the side bar closed. Its still there, you can open it up if you drag the dot in the middle! All thats new is the blue bar with empty button
These ‘leaks’ all have one thing in common: none of them have yet to show us anything worth paying for.
Steve’s Super Secrets (held back lest MS copier gets overload) had better be good.

And if that’s how you feel, imagine the poor Windows users that have nothing more than Vista to look forward to in the future…
It’s ok, not a big leap from 10.4. I mean, who’s gonna use Mail’s notes? Some of those features are basic improvements that could have been added in a 10.4.x update. Let’s be honest people, spring loaded folders in the dock and a different view for the Trash folder – wow. Not that I would switch to Windows anytime soon, I’m hoping the secret features will know my socks off.
ho-hum.
why do i think the new secret features will be new icons or backgrounds or something else totally “who cares?”
10.4 > 10.5 so far not impressed. i can´t ever imagine using the time machine or lost of the other doo-dads.
“I mean, who’s gonna use Mail’s notes?”
I am. I can’t wait for it. It’s going to make my work flow much more productive. Newsflash: The world doesn’t revolve around you! Just because you don’t see the value of a feature, doesn’t mean others won’t.
The more I think about how I’d use Spaces, the more excited I get about it. For those who don’t think the new features are worth it, don’t buy it. The fact of the matter is, the OS is so close to perfect already, it’s getting harder to find new features to add. That really sucks, huh?
I will certainly be using the ability to add more than 1 folder to the background selection
Time Machine alone is worth $149. A brand new OS, priceless..
$149 upgrade + $299 for addl memory to run the doo dads + $199 hard drive to hold ’em.
What a bargain!
SSS (Steve’s Secret Stuff) had better be good.
It’s not a matter of whether or not I will upgrade, the point is whether we are going to allow Apple to rip us off (again) just because they’ve decided it’s time.
