Hello,

I am part of the Apple GUI and Foundation Development department, sec 003.
I have worked on the new and upcoming Tiger release for 5 months, and thought it best to share the new features with the dedicated fans of the OS X platform.

Tiger (OS X 10.4) will include:

+A new Graphical User Interface; current builds are strictly core technologies, all new and updated workfaces will be revamped for the final release. The new GUI is codenamed "Hasbra," and will deliver a new look and feel which will be consistant through the entire OS.

+Active Desktops: Will offer the chance for developers and 3rd party software creators to design 'living' backgrounds; adding to the look and feel of the industry leading GUI of OS X.

+Apple HFS filesystem will be replaced with the new world "Red Globe" file system from Neosystems. Apple has been working carefully with Neosystems to develope and combine an entirely new architecture. Red Globe is currently the fastest filesystem in the world, and has support for FSV 3.1, and DNN apro/1.33

+The dock will sport a combination of new features.

These features are valid, and have been kept in secrecy by Apple.

Yours,
Jason Faganelli

Yeah... makes a whole lot of sense to add Active Desktops, new Dock features, and a brand new filesystem after the devs have already been given their copies and should be working on their Tiger software.

Just like how iTunes 5 was coming out with a Mixing Table...

Does Flash have its own filesystem, or are you offering it separately from Neo OS?

I phrased it badly. I know it's from FMJ (was on TV tonight), I meant the forum that spawned that image.

Did the white jackets let you out on a holiday pass, or did you break out?
