Yeah, just saw those myself, about 10 minutes ago.
"Revamped Finder"? Wow. Just kinda getting used to the one I'm using.
Think this is some wild, radical departure? Because, the whole point is to be productive and not have to re-learn everything from the ground up ever 12-18 months.
Looks nice. I like the pinstriping being gone/toned down.
If it's snappy and responsive and getting more and more that way with each update, then I'm happy.
Look real. The silvery title bars on the dialog boxes and System Preferences look great, but that brushed metal Finder window is ASS! God, please don't make that be true.
While I've not played with it or really know anything about it, my guess is that it'll feel really solid. I don't think we're getting a huge bank of new features, rather Apple is reworking the weak elements of OS X (Finder, etc.) and continuing to improve performance, integration, etc.
I think it's something we'll need to play with. Of course, the shots also have a number of things blanked out, so there may be some surprises yet.
One thing seemed a little weird to me...I might be wrong and if I am please let me know. Underneath the new iChat video window, there is a green bar. I don't know the purpose of it, just that it looks a lot like a Windows XP bar. Am I smoking something?
Looks like we don't have a new two button mouse coming though. If you look at the control pannel, notice it is just the regular old pro-mouse. Maybe that icon will change though come the final version. \

Doesn't Expose' sound a little weird?
Interesting how they combine some prefpanes.

All very 'Woodstock'. Perfect for the granola-munching CEO.

Sure I can take 'em. I've got school bandwidth that's just going to rot here during the summer
Just email them to me: [email protected]
Edit: Looks like webmail beat me to it. Oh, and don't mind the spider bait
