I think we'll see some sort of VMWare built straight into the OS. I only say this because of the addition of spaces. Sure spaces is cool and implimented pretty good but i think par…

I also think you will be able to run windows in a SPACE or separate login but I don't think they will allow both Mac and Windows on the screen at the same time.

In the scant two years since Tiger came out, metadata had gone from the direction of Apple's innovation to dead as a doornail? I'm not quite sure where you got that from.

maybe some of the top secret features will incorporate whatever Apple's filed patents for... i distinctly remember them getting a patent for windows that fade (and then close?) af…

I agree, I don't expect a new UI, but I wouldn't be surprised in a little tweaking like they've done from release to release: Increasing opacity in menus and getting rid of pin str…

I've never really understood what so many of you have against the finder, anyone care to explain it to me? I rather like it, but I'm only comparing agianst XP.

Basically it's a bandwagon thing. Someone comes up with a cute phrase full of alliteration like "fix the f**ckin finder" and everyone jumps onboard. The finder isn't perfect but…

It's just so much worse than the old OS 9 Finder. The browser model and the spatial mode is all mixed up, which damages both modes. It's buggy as hell, in particular wrt window si…

Yeah I've never understood the whole anti-Finder sentiment. What's so damn wrong with it? It serves its purpose, and does so smoothly and efficiently, IMO. I'm sure there are so…

It beachballs sometimes when accessing network shares. It also likes to put Desktop icons underneath the Dock if it's pinned on the right. Neither of these things would require a …

It also fails to update network shares sometimes. You have to create a new folder to get it to update the file listing. Also doesn't require a rewrite to fix.

anyone Educated in firewire yet? i know it should theoretically be possible to make a network of firewire devices including computer-- but where do i go for the items needed? how m…

firewire is a buss. It is more an advanced SCSI (but this not technicaly seen, only in use), and less a network-system. Meaning: everything transported over the firewire buss is s…

Well, it certainly is possible, but you'd have to write a library so OT could handle it. Apple has already stated it will not do it, however. I don't see why you couldn't run TCP/I…
