leopard_menu

Transparent menubar? Meh.

leopard_dock

3D shiny dock? Meh.

leopard_stacks

Stacks? WAY COOL DO WANT.

leopard_sidebar

"FinderTunes"… The jury's out.

leopard_coverflow

"FinderFlow"… Pretty cool.

There is no doubt in my mind that Apple is headed for a touch-screen interface. While Finder windows get less and less spatial, general interaction is getting more spatial. Coverflow, Stacks, Spaces and Time Machine are all made for fingers, not mice.
