I saw the WWDC(worldwide developers conference) keynote through QuickTime. When Steve Jobs previewed Tiger it was neat. I can not wait until the first half of next year to get it!

| I am pretty excited about Tiger too, and I just got a Powerbook for college. I have always been a Windows user, but decided that getting a Mac would be a good idea since they are much more stable and do not suffer from constant virus threats. |

To me Automator is mostly my main thing. Do not get me wrong Dashboard, Safari RSS, iChat AV Revised, Spotlight, .Mac Sync, and VoiceOver are going to be neat to.

I can't wait to see more apps that use those Core Image/Video effects., and now that I got new PB it should run smooth.
The way windows flip in Dashboard is very impressive, and maybe all apps will have that in 10.5... |

I hope they speed the interface up. I'm a mixed platform user but really, the current state of OS X drives me crazy -- even compared to such a veritable hog like Windows XP. I flip back between OS 9 and X on the same Mac and the difference is sooo noticeable. Now, I know, that's kind of like "apples to oranges" and they've already optimized some speed since 10.2 Jaguar, but they still have a long way to go in my book. There should at *least* be options to turn off more eye candy like XP gives you a choice to. Zoom effects get redundant after awhile and you know what you wanna do with that window and where's it gotta go! Haha  |

Well what kind of mac do you have? Because on my new powerbook everything is zippy and snappy like it was on OS9 when I got my old mac. Transparent windows, video, expose, all that flies.
These new macs with fast graphics cards and quartz extreme have improved a lot. |
