It is.

Snow Leopard is the perfect name for a release with only refinements instead of new features. Shades of 10.1. Lets just hope the price will also be the same

Dream on.

Seriously, I'm willing to bet it will be the same $129 it's always been lately. And it makes me shiver just thinking about the amount of bitching we'll get about it on boards like this one.

I can't imagine noone has said this yet:

FTFF.

At least repair the new absurdities added in 10.5 (window settings are global by default, windows don't close when their folder is dropped in the trash, etc)

It's just occurred to me that with things like exchange support being built in, it would be really nice to have NTFS write support, and for iChat to support MSN messenger!

My list:

• The option to turn off all warning windows, including the one that appears when any application crashes. As well as the one that appears when first installing and opening an app for the first time. Granted, this would only be for those that want to really live dangerously. But I'm one of them.

• In the Finder: Go menu, the radical addition of a shortcut to Documents. If Command-Shift-A goes to Apps, and Command-Shift-H goes to Home, let me have Command-Shift-D to go to Documents. 95% of the time I need to access my drive, it's the Documents folder I want to go to.

• Bring back the ability to show custom icons in folders I place in the Dock. I'm unclear why a constantly changing or generic icon would be a visual improvement

• Vastly improve how Mail handles attachments. Instead of explaining it, open up Entourage to see their method and use something similar.
