Apple has put up a few videos showing off some of the features that are going to be available in OS X 10.4, coming out any time in the next 6 months (in Steve's own words!) This is shaping up to be probably the best desktop OS ever.I really like Spotlight, finally my documents will be easy to find! And how about Automator? However I am still not too excited about Dashboard. I think it's a useless waste of resources unless new great widgets appear from 3rd parties (Apple's default ones are not really useful for anything else than free eye candy)
I also like the new look that apps are going to get, specially becaue the window top bar is going to be somehow merged with the icon toolbar (the best example is the Mail.app video) It looks a bit more metallic than before, and I couldn't notice many stripes either... Is Apple going for a more cyber and tech look?
Also one new interesting feature is Mail.app's Spotlight-powered smart folders, kind of iTunes' smart playlists. It's great, it's about time we got them... I remember using this feature back in my Linux days with Evolution and it was really cool!
I'm looking forward to Tiger
For the first time, I will be more than happy to pay 120$ for a piece of software!
