In Mail.app, you can hover over a link and click the drop-down that shows up to Quicklook the website link. Kinda spiffy.

This is what OSX needs:
1. more full screen options. - why can't i keep a menubar on at all times, even in fullscreen? I want my clock and my Skype menu icon there at all times....
2. systemwide notifications like Android. - i don't like switching apps to see a notification
3. better performance, i may need more ram, but performance can be a little sluggish and the rainbow pops up when swiping from space to space for an indefinitely longer time

The BIG question is - and it's onethat no one is talking about - have apple updated CHESS!
Yes Chess. That freaking awesome FREE game that always comes with osx!
Is it full screen, have they changed the graphics? etc etc??!
Come on people stop crying about f***ing flash not being some geek-gpu-what-not and tell everyone what we want to hear - the chess! is it now jazz chess?!

in safari swiping left or right with the mouse goes forward and backward in your history, pages swipe and overlay the previous page - very nice!

ok so yeah Adobe users have to install the optional Java runtime to run CS.
Other than minor annoyance that I am happy with it.
I have multiple workspaces open and I can swipe through them like a madman.

Cutting off hardware acceleration is fucked up.

I would drop mac in a second if I could not run Adobe software.

Designing software to look like the physical-world equivalent is simply bad design. There is no argument for it.

and i dont trust apple as a pro vendor

I would rather adobe stay independent. the industry needs the professional stability adobe offers. if not it could be all low and highend products with no middle class pro option.

I can't wait until Apple just buys Adobe and finally shuts Boz and his stupid conspiracy theories up.

I do like that Safari seems to be at least 100% faster. Safari has been my default browser since day one. There are subtle features that other browsers don't have, which has kept me from using Chrome, specifically, as my primary. Now with the speed increase and developer tools in 10.6, I don't see myself abandoning Safari unless something changes.
To support my previous comment above, what I mean is that they are trying to bring familiarity of the OS to users who haven't owned a Mac before, but got into the Apple ecosystem through an iPod Touch or an iPhone. I think it's a logical move, personally. As far as the Flash acceleration and other issues similar, most people simply don't care or notice the nuance.
