When you wish upon a star…

When you wish upon a starNow that the purported Leopard screenshots have been debunked, it’s time to start speculating about what Steve & Co. might have in store for the grand unveiling of Leopard, several weeks hence. Our big brothers over at Macworld are pros at this sort of thing, having covered between them roughly 6,234,539 Apple product launches since 1869. So when Jason Snell, Chris Breen, Philip Michaels, Jim Dalrymple, and Rob “Whatcha talkin’ bout Willis?” Griffiths combine their powers, we get two things: 1) a list of 23 improvements that should be in Leopard and 2) Captain Planet.

The shopping list of features includes such goodies as a redesigned Finder, improved media center experience, tabbed iChat, better Boot Camp support and way way more than I could possibly fit in this tiny paragraph.

For my part, there are a number of features I’d love to see in Leopard, not all of them flashy either. With 10.5 hopefully seeing the light of day before Vista’s out of the gate, now is Apple’s chance to truly leapfrog far ahead of Microsoft. Regardless, whatever everybody’s thinking, you can bet that Apple will drop a couple of surprises that nobody saw coming.

What do you want on your Tombstone to see in Leopard?
