Multi-touch keyboards would be cool, even if Apple started with a hybrid version with keys and a larger touchpad for the iMac. There are lots of ideas floating around that are s-l-o-w-l-y being incorporated, maybe once the MSDA is over (Microsoft Dark Age) we will see more. This Jeff Han video is one of my faves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JcSu7h-I40 Just as long as its not a Big Ass Sphere® www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3HGfIy_zCI

Five years ago I bought a winter coat at Wal-Mart for $70, the zipper broke in three months. I went to Sears and bought a new coat for $100, which I still wear. I learned my lesson and haven't been back to Wal-Mart since. Give me quality anytime. If Snow Leopard offers nothing other than a qualitative improvement over Leopard for Intel Macs it will be worth every penny, isn't that why we have chosen Mac over PC in the first place? Quality?

Perhaps Apple has this "hole" in their line-up to direct people towards their MacBook/Pro lines, and once they have a large share of that market, (which is happening) they can expand their offerings.

To reiterate, the TSX in Canada recently took a tumble that evaporated $90 Billion Dollars, should that be seen as a death knell for Apple? Don't you just love it when sh*t is taken out of context?

Two days ago I asked my brother-in-law to take photos that were on his camera and put them on my jump drive, so he fired up his media center PC, inserted the SD card and fiddled for about an hour getting absolutely nowhere. I took the camera home, plugged it into my iMac and had all the photos downloaded in seconds! Now this is not an isolated incident, I work as a photo lab technician, in a lab full of PC's maintained by an IT department, and fully two thirds of the machines have the same problem! We are forced to reboot because the machines lock up all the time. My definition of hell since working here is "A cheap Windows box with in-house proprietary software" there is nothing worse! "Don’t tell me to buy a Mac and use Parallels when a PC can do it for less than half the cost." Since when does having two computers EVER cost less than having one that can do the operation of both machines at the same time. Your ignorance is only surpassed by your misplaced rage. Believe it because "its over".

Dream on, haber. Or, in the case of what you describe, "nightmare" would be more appropriate. BTW, "low-end Dell" is redundant.

DUMB

Chris No, I am not "just repeating reviewers" I am talking from hands on experience. Leopard has already changed the way I approach the GUI, with Spaces I keep Safari in one space, Mail in another, System Preferences in a third, and I have the Finder in the fourth. In the Finder I can search for images quickly and preview them in Quicklook. I have a Hot Corner set up to quickly move from one Space to another, its a beauty. Time Machine works in the background, the only indication that it is working is the external drive winds up. (BTW the moving starfield and vortex in TM is visually stunning!) I had one small glitch, my Keychain was a little problematic, which I think is due to the fact I may have inadvertently changed a password during installation. The only thing it affected was accessing my .Mac account which was resolved by re-entering the password. Big deal. That's it! Otherwise smooth sailing. So from personal experience I can say, there is no reason to NOT upgrade to Leopard. My iMac G5 definitely feels faster, more responsive, and stable. All my software works just fine, no compatibility issues, and the new features are a "must have".
