Ok.. how about a full screen Maximise button? I've no use for it... but I've seen considerable requests for it in the past.

I'd just like it to... DO everything - and... leave me alone.
Is that too much to ask...?

Also,
how about a overall system wide thing that means when I click on the red button on a window it closes the application.
Works on some but not all.

My forlorn hope is for Apple to shamelessly steal how Microsoft lets you control each application's menu and submenus using unique keystrokes through the alt key. That will not happen.
The Finder is also a perennial topic of complaint and niggles. Gruber Daring Fireball suggests that this problem is insoluble. Apple has fiddled with it over the years, sometimes it is more a browser, othertimes it is more file manager. But Finder is trying to do two things at once, and not quite succeeding at both.
I have to remind myself now and again that Finder is just another application, but in practice I instinctively think of it as GUI. So I get confused when I mistakenly quit it, and then relaunch it from recent items.
Initially, I got Pathfinder to use as a replacement. But I am using it less and less and learning to be content with what I have, and instead using more contextual menus and what not.
I reckon Quicksilver is brilliant, and Apple should get its developer to put some of Quicksilver into the GUI. |

Control F1 to activate and then Control F2 for menu bar, Control F3 for dock. Check out Keyboard & Mouse Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > Keyboard Navigation.
Press the first couple of letters of a menu item to jump to that item on the menu. Eg. Control F2 > type V or Vi to go to View, and then type Sh to go to Show View Options.
May have to add fn for MacBook keyboards or the slim Apple Keyboards depending on your settings. |

I want them to fix up the way the Finder handles windows...
They've recognised there are bugs... (present in 10.4, so why not fixed in 10.5?)

My biggest gripe about Finder was resolved in 10.5; no more beachballs when you have a networked volume mounted and you get cut off from the network.
My other issue was also resolved in Leopard. Ability to change your home folder's name so easily. Gave me chuckles whenever someone did that deliberately or otherwise, which then led to plenty of grumbling by me cuz I had to fix it.
Finder still locks up every now and then though and occasionally keyboard controls go AWOL in Finder.
I want 10.6 to be able to make ice-blended drinks  |

1) Better (native) support for NTFS and Windows shares. If this has been fixed in 10.5.3, I apologise; I'm not upgrading until the weekend.
2) Another vote for "red x button kills application"
3) Coloured items on the menubar (or at least an option to have colours). My eyesight isn't great, so having, say, blue for BT, green for AirPort etc. would be handy.
4) Improved Exchange support (this may be an MS thing rather than an Apple thing).

Some ideas:
- A migration assistant that can migrate selected apps or selected email accounts (finer control).
- Better use of multi-touch track pads.
- Front Row 3: with TV recording and support for legitimate plugins.
- Video playlists in iTunes (why aren't they there?).
- MSN support in iChat.
- RAR support in Archive Utility.
- iStat menus built in (bought at great expense from the developers). Or at the very least, world clocks in the menu bar/menus.
- More CODEC support in Quicktime (MKV, DivX etc).
- No Blu-ray support. Screw the kernel level DRM. We don't want our nice OS ruined.
- Another Dock upgrade. I like the 10.5 one, but I think Apple can do better.

I expect: - ZFS file system
- complete integration of multi-touch ( the reason MS demoed a half arsed laggy version at All Things D - they know what to expect at WWDC)
- Further enhancements to ichat
- developer tools that will produce truly universal binaries (apps work on vista and windows 7 as well as mac, iphone, unix, psp, nintendo, wii etc.)
newer front row
desirable .mac integration, particularly relating to touch devices, although I suspect this would be 10.5.x anyway.
