Wow, yet another reason to spend money on tech toys. I guess this is probably a fine occassion to finally break down and get that new 8-core Mac Pro.
A few of the new features you won’t find in Vista that I love:
Quick Look:
Look inside the contents of every file in the Finder without having to actually launch the application. Even Photoshop and Illustrator files?
Time Machine:
What a way to use that extra storage! Roll your computer back in time as easily as browsing any file folder. Lost a file? Deleted a file? Just do any regular search but go ahead and go backwards in time. So cool!
Spaces:
This is easily my favorite new feature.
I have one 30″ Mac monitor and another 21″ inch monitor next to it. But you know what? I STILL don’t always feel like I have enough real-estate. With Spaces, you can toggle back and forth between custom “environments” without having to move applications all over the places. Email stays in its own Space. Photoshop stays in its own Space. You can even drag from one Space environment to another.
Stacks:
Yet another demonstration that Apple understand UX/UI concepts better than just about anyone out there. Create your own file “stacks” behind single icons on the dock. So simple. Most good things are.
Time to go to the Apple store!!
