I'd like the ability to have Time Machine back up to a network share. It'd also be grand if the iChat in 10.6 worked properly on dialup.

Make the Help Windows associated with each Application, back into a real Help Application, that can be "hidden", instead of moved off the screen or minimalized.

heh, I like your built in istat menus idea, although I hear that the developers of that product are holding out for too much, so Apple are reverse engineering it and calling it widget stats

Something that you have to put up with when you live in a crummy place called "The Country".

I'd like Frontrow to NOT divide movies into 7 chunks for skipping forward and have the skip amount definable via the Preferences. I'd also like to be able to choose Airtunes as my audio destination in Front row for audio.

I want a better Finder. Something that allows me to browse multiple file trees at the same time and has better responsiveness. I have 2GB RAM and 2.4GHz C2D and yet I still get lag in the Finder when nothing else is open.
I want Safari to be smarter. If I type in httq or ww. or .gvo or whatever, I don't want to see an error message, I want it to correct the damn URL and go to the obvious damn site that I meant to type in, hell don't browsers already prefetch? FIGURE IT OUT COMPUTER.
I swear, in twenty or so years of using computers, I honestly haven't seen that many improvements. It's really more bloatware and pretty features than anything tangibly beneficial.
I want to see REAL features. Features that make a profound difference in how I use a computer. Differences that translate into real-world benefit. Features that take advantage of all that awesome processing power we have available, without bogging the system down to a crawl.
I want to see OS X built in machine code.

Given the trends towards using high level languages like LUA for projects like Lightroom and other desktop apps, I doubt that'll happen! Objective-C runs faster in a lot of situations anyway (because the compiler can do a better job of optimising than the programmer when targeting specific CPUs etc). |
