Multi layered dock, with the different layers becoming visable via a three dimentional, cube like vertical flipping effect.

If everybody's so damn sure we'll get a new UI, can we have some mockups?

Apple has been very good with designing the UI to match the outlookof their current machines. The most recent major redesign of the exterior of one machine was the iMac, so... I'd …

Apple can't significantly change the size of controls, nor can they change their placement in existing applications.

Like always, I bitched about 10.5 but now I'm excited. Anyways, I'm glad that Apple is keeping those features secret, because MS really will copy everything and put into Vista.

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…
