After watching the keynote address that Steve Jobs gave, I am seriously thinking about switching to a Mac :-). I like how they made Fast User Switching work. Let's not forget, Expos? has to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen!

[pmh]

whats Expos??

Yes, I too would like to know what this is? And what is different about the new release. :blush::

[kryptonik]

Expos? is fast task switching. Like pressing ctrl + tab on a PC. Click the link for more info.

[ZipLed]

Is this leaked version beta? And if so, is it stable?

[iCe|]

very stable and fast

about to try the fast switch :)

[Phildeeze]

It's actually alt + tab on the PC rather than ctrl + tab.

I wish I knew how to get my hands on Panther...

[iCe|]

more to come

fast switch with pasword

[kairon]

did you get that cube animation when switching between users? like it shows on apple's page

[iCe|]

yeah its way better than the one on xp :)

[icyorange]

I've downloaded Panther, just gotta back up all my stuff to install it. :(

Do the new graphical features like Expose and Fast User Switching require Quartz Extreme? My iBook 500 only has Quartrz... if these features won't work I won't bother installing it, i'll just drool at the screenshots. :D

[Kanecorp]

i'm installing it as we speak!

[Koyder]

What about slow responsiveness to resizing, scrolling or dragging items (http://www.xvsxp.com/general/) and slow deleting large number of files (http://www.xvsxp.com/desktop_windows/)? Has it been improved?

iCe|: just a tip... grab is a totally useless program. you can take screenshots by pressing command+shift and 3 or 4. for taking shots of a window in specific press command+shift and 4, then press the space bar once... you can now select a window

[Diata]

hopefuly ill have my hands on it soon...hows expos??

[Fusion]

looks great. Glad to hear that it is fast (Y)

keep the screenshots coming. You may want to size the pics down a little too when you post them
