Leopard? What'll be the big deal?

The Vista thread below got me to wondering... What will be the new killer features in Leapord? I'm thinking video integration, as in TV / DVR? What else? Will this be an OS that requires (or rather takes advantage of) a big multiprocessor CPU speed jump?

I think they'll have some cutting edge features in the next OS revision. Like control panels that aren't chained to that one clumsy window. Like being able to add stuff to the Apple menu and organize it yourself. Like a "find file" program that can quickly search for files by name across your whole drive. Like being able to look inside of font suitcases just by clicking on them. Like being able to play sounds in the Finder with a double-click. Like being able to have multiple system folders on the same hard drive. Like having small helpful programs (call the little widgets "Desk Accessories" or something like that) that can be run from a special menu without having to hide your foreground application or losing the ability to keep working on a document with the Desk Accessory running. Like being able to play Indeo video codec from within QuickTime. Like being able to run software from the Classic Mac OS in a transparent emulation layer. Man, oh man! Adopting those cutting-edge technologies would be soooo sweet!

Thanks, Magus, you made me smile.
I wonder how many won't get it. ST

The big deal will be that it won't run on PowerPC anymore!
That sure would "kill".
