Each seed brings us closer to perfection :rolleyes:
Actually, tabs in Terminal sounds cool. Maybe they'll think about putting them in FINDER too :D
Perhaps they're saving that for 10.5 build 9A365

Is it just me, or do these pointed out features, seem to be drawing our attention from something big? Either that or there are going to be a lot of dissappointed people when 10.5 is revealed. What average person wants tabbed terminal windows when the terminal is hardly used in the first place?

Exactly, tabbed terminal. Who cares?

I use it. Not multiple sessions or anything, but I use it.
I do agree though. Seriously underwhelming feature list. When do we get to see the new UI? :D

It's not like Apple is marketing it as a big feature.
There are still big top secret features yet to be releaved with Leopard. All the little stuff is getting updated in the developer preview, like QuickLook and tabbed terminal.

With each build I grown more weary of how awesome the shipping version will be. How amazing can these features be if they don't require developers to adapt their software. For instance, if Apple were to completely revamp the UI like many are expecting, wouldn't Apple have to seed out the development package for it? So i don't see a radically new UI in the works for that reason.
I'm thinking these new features will simply be new programs that simply sit on top of Leopard. Not so exciting (as dashboard, etc.) IMHO.:(

Lets hopes so, This'll be my first OSX release where i'd actually be excited for, (before i was never really into macs) and I better be blown away by it.

While the seeds help them test things, they are seeded to developers so developers can develop. The features they point out are things useful for developers to know about.

There are some pretty serious upgrades within the innards of Leopard. They might be waiting to get those API's stable, then release some fancy stuff based on those API's.
Developers will go to town with 10.5. You'll see a whole slew of really wacky animated interfaces for sure. To what benefit, we'll have to wait and see.
