WWDC 2007 Keynote

I haven't heard it nor seen it not even read it on engadget. I read some comments n Maler.cz. I like the new look of Apple home site. The navigation is better and more ... handy?

Desktop: 3d Dock doesn't make much sense to me but OK. I like the "Stack", it's a good and usefull feature but what for when I'm using Quicksilver.

Finder: Seems to be much improved. Cover Flow is nice but why?

Quick view: can be quite handy but I'm not sure I will use it often

Time machine: yes, I would appreciate something like this but I can live without it. Just copy System disk to External HDD regularly (e.g. weekly) and that's it. Or set up some nifty unix script in crontab and it's automatic.

Spaces: another handy feature. Long time used in Unix world. Don't know why does it take so long for Apple to integrate it in OS X.

Mail: Templates in Mail look very nice and could be usefull too, but mail is for text communication and I prefer it this way.

iChat: I don't use it. My friends prefer Skype.

iCal: I don't use it that much. Google Calendar suits my needs better.

Dashboard: don't use it but it's a good feature.

Safari: I'm not sure if it is the fastest web browser. Opera seems faster to me. But I like Firefox because of it's extensions. Right now I'm playing with Camino and that's OK too. I'm not quite sure which of them I prefer.

Parental Controls: don't use it right now but I'm glad it's there. My kids are growing and soon they will want to use computer.

Boot Camp: I got G4 + Virtual PC. Ok, well, hmm. Why not, sometimes I need Windows. Still I find Parallels or VMWare more useful. But it should be there as a basic feature.

Photo Booth: Don't have built-in iSight so I don't have Photo Booth. Looks nice to play with.

Front Row: don't have it and wish it. But that will come with new Mac sometime in the future.

DVD Player: Ok, looks better. But I'm not sure it's worth it.

Accessibility: don't need it but it should be there as a basic feature.

Automator: I like it very much and the recording feature will be quite help for me sometimes.

So these are the features and my opinion about them. I think I'll upgrade the OS with new Mac which I will buy but don't know when. We are still in setting our home and we would like to buy a house so I'm not sure I'll have enough money soon. May be next year or more probably the year after.

P.S.: I would like to have something like AIX LVM (Logical Volume Manger) in OSX. I'm new to AIX but I love it.
