    People are complaining because the iTunes interface isn't very good. It violates Apple's own rules. Of course, they do that a lot anyway, but one real disappointment for me about the upcoming Leopard is the idea of Finder looking like iTunes.



    Yuck.

    That's still not the best solution when Preview should be able to do it.

    When we are this close to GM, we get a little more talkative. Actually we might be at the GM - they never tell us which build it was until after the launch.

    Adobe is *almost* as bad.

    It catched fire.



    Seeing people having a hard time to keep their lips tight, is a sign that the release is close.

    I think it was Tiger that we already had a later build, and when they released, it was the previous one.



    That's why I always have to wait for someone to get a retail copy and tell me what the build number is.



    I just checked and we are still at 9A559.



    ZFS is in there, but read-only at release. The ZFS Beta is full-feature and working for developers who wish to use it. It supports RAID-Z.



    Resolution Independence is in there. There are sample code projects that use it.



    People are going to be very very pleased with the new Finder. Steve didn't highlight the real improvements, which are fine-grained permission folder sharing, super-easy LAN connections, and robust and fast LAN networking. iDisk especially is now actually "snappy." And no beachballing.



    Mail.app's To Do List means not having to go to iCal to schedule To Dos.



    Software Update is completely revamped.



    I expect if we don't get a build this week, then 9A559 is the GM.

    How does that work? I don't know the particular implementation, but I think it makes more sense to manage to dos in iCal than within Mail. Do the programs at least manage a common list?
