Decent list. Two problems:

1. Finder is not improved. It’s rewritten, but out of backend necessity, not of frontend improvement.

2. Notice that iTunes is not on the list. It’s one of the few apps to have escaped Snow Leopard’s focus. Understandable, since it’s a cross platform app whose dev cycle is OS independent. Still, here’s hoping iTunes 9 debuts soon with true 64-bit support. And iTunes 10 (iTunes X?) needs to be totally rewritten ala Finder.

Should I get this when it comes out, or wait until any bugs are worked out? I guess I just have too many flashbacks of Winduhs releases and having to wait for a service pack or two before upgrading.

And therein lies the rub - I own no intel-based machines. While I would really like to upgrade laptops, it isn't in the budget yet. My desktop (Dual 1.8Ghz G5 Power Macintosh) is a great machine.
