Some pretty good updates.

-Dragging Files into running tasks to copy them.
-The media player type thingy they use fades out the controls and a button makes it go full screen I think he said.
-And you can dim the display while Idle in the Power Options now?

I never knew Mac OS didn't have these features to begin with. I'm guessing this guy has never used a PC. Ubuntu does all of this stuff.

If I were a Mac-person, I'd be SO licking my laptop screen right now.
BUT since I'm a PC gamer, I'm humping the screen saying: "PWnd you mac-$%#^$#ers!"

I've been dragging files to programs since before I can remember. And video, PDF, and picture previews have always been around in Windows. And really, the page flipping in a PDF preview seems a bit superfluous.

I'm not trying to do the Windows > Mac thing but I find it interesting that the things they emphasize are things Windows has had for a while.

They always do.

However, Windows does the same thing to be fair.

I thought the PDF preview is cool but as mentioned maybe not useful.

Looks to me like Apple spent their time and money improving the integration between the various Finder UI features.

What was interesting to this Mac geek was that the Dock and Stacks are actually useful now. The Dock/Expose' integration is a big improvement. I have never used Stacks because I thought it was a really clunky interface. Snow Leopard fixes that.
