Hi
Anybody used DP4 yet? How much does it differ from 3? I see, from Apples screen shots, that that daft Apple icon is there, although it doesn't seem to be in the ie5/Appleworks shots...
So how's the new dock work then? Is it: apps on the right, minimised stuff/aliases on the left? What about, in Apple's dock vid, when a file is dragged to the desktop it disappears? What does that mean?
I take it that now the application menu is text based the rest of the menus move around a bit depending on the length of the app name- is that good ui design?
I don't mean to nitpick (it is getting tiring especially seeing that we've 7-8 months until the final release) but it seems that this constant interest is having some effect; Apple seem to be listening. This is really encouraging. Lets hope that they carry on so that when OSX is finally released it'll be damn near perfect.
keep up the good work- lets leave those Wintel people in the dust!
