Found Footage: Exposé and Spaces in Leopard
Gah! All this waiting for Leopard is killing me. Luckily, we have videos like this to sate our hunger (at least for a few seconds). The...

Seeing this video, I SOOOO want this!
How much is it gonna cost, and how much more RAM past the 512 I already have do I need?
Made this vid a while ago:Â http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS96vx4AqC4.
And has anyone seen the UI of the new preview? Well, personally, I don't like it... Take a look here:Â http://lifeintheunderground.com/l33t/preview.png (sorry my server's a little slow)
Also, to those who want to get leopard: It is not worth it, it is still in beta, so its very unstable. The only redeeming factor is spaces.
#10: Ditto. I'm a big fan of brushed metal, and I've never understood where the hatred of it comes from. Adopting the "unified theme" in Leopard would be moving closer to M$, not staying ahead of it. I've never seen a poll of Mac users on this point, but part of me wonders whether the anti-brushed metal camp is merely a (very) vocal minority, or whether they actually represent the majority of Mac users.

Apple is moving towards a more boring office use type of look while MS is moving towards a more "showy" type of look which OS X had in the earlier versions. I can't speak for the usability of the "showy" versions of these two OS's because I never used either for an extended period but it looks nice. BTW, I don't like the look of Vista particularly but I did like the original OS X 10.0.

Can anyone explain what is wrong with the brushed metal theme? I personally like it. I even like the original Aqua theme, although I never really got to use it since my MacBook Pro is my first Mac.

If you have cluttered desktops (even using Spaces), being able to invoke Exposé from this Spaces desktops view is icing on the cake.

and has dozens of tiny problems with usability (switching applications between docks and so on)
but it brings multi-desktop now. of course.
do you think you would be able to mirror windows in different spaces?
