Time Machine, which looks like a weird hybrid of Microsoft's System Restore and a disk imaging program is no good to me as it seems you need a separate external drive.

The preview thing seems to be slower than opening the file in the first place as you have to click it then go upto the top to click the eye icon.

I don't use ichat or mail. The spaces looks OK, but as I don't do hardcore work (that's for my desktop) then I probably won't use that much.

Plus the fact, contrary to public opinion Tiger did slow my powerbook down, and my little 1ghz PPC G4 is struggling enough already, and is right on the cusp of compatibility.
I dont see the point on a G4 system yet. Like I said, a lot of the add ons are to developers like the new version of xcode and objective-C. 9GB Must be due to having it as a universal binary. Wait for an app to remove the Intel code i guess (also it's properly if you install everything..)

Yep, It seems at least 3GB is developer tools and documentation

Some new features in there now. I like the grammer check, guest accounts, sandboxed apps, spotlight will now highlight the top add so its quicker to open. dotMac syncs of system preferences and dock/wallpapers.

I like the stacks and other desktop improvements too.

All small features but nice ones.
