dive into mark has screenshots and a list of changes in the new MacOS. Looks hot. But the firewall, the remote desktop, the desktop printing—that's money, as we used to say.

However, I'm dismayed to see how Apple continues to sneak in little effects that flout the standing wisdom of the Mac interface. Chief among these is the Finder windows that are "browsers" by default, rather than "things." Instead of having a window for each folder, which has its own size and placement, one of the new Finder windows holds steady as you navigate through the folder hierarchy; it gives you a single view onto each folder that you enter. The only way to get another view is to deliberately create one.

This is like if my landlord were to add a "feature" to my house so that as I walk through, each room is conveniently resized to the same 12' x 10' dimensions, until I go and get another pair of glasses, which allows me to look at rooms with a different set of dimensions. Alack.
