That damn bouncing AIM icon!

Sure, if i recieved an IM once in a week it might be helpful, but in a conversation its just obnoxious, i havent found a hack to kill it either....

Try Fire: http://www.epicware.com/fire.html . Much nicer notifications. Needs work, but it's very tolerable.

Yeah, that too.

I'd say Adium is superior unless you use ICQ, etc.

No problemo. Email the developer and tell him.

I want a rocket propelled speed boat.

Or a more flexable and featured Dock.

[Carlo]

How about this apple

Themes... Its a unix GUI technically, so it should have the flexability of other unix window managers.

Scsi Burning support & perhaps some nice burning apps

A version of IE that supports java correctly

Speed would be nice

SMB that works with win2k correctly.

A free g5 for me..

Other than that though I must say this time last year I was using os9 and wondering what x would bring. I lost burning support (and im just getting it back now) and lost themes but gained so much. OSX rules.

•Virtual Desktops
•Remote login (VNC) like in WinXP for supporting the family member who doesn't know how to use a computer
•Dramticly improved Radeon Support (I am getting one today (ordering), and saying good-bye to my Rage II+ with 2MB vram). I work @11152x870
•Labels
•Fix the drawing problem in IE, and Classic
•Change File owner, and group for files in Get Info
•Fix the clock bug that if on desktop puts it back in dock when started as a login item
•Include MySQL
•TV Mirroring (for RCA out)
•File helper control panel for assigning apps to file extentions
•second divider in Dock for seperating Clasic/Native apps
•force login screen, so if your user is hosed you can login as root or something
•ability to disable startup items, so if one startup item is preventing startup you can fix it
•Advanced installer with more options to help lighten X (like picking which printer you have, not installing desktop picture, screensavers etc)
•Mail 2.0 (I don't use it but alot of people do, and it needs to be improved along with Addressbook)
•More user control (Via GUI) over options
•assign user to certain groups in user control panel
•Dramaticly improve GUI permissions and privaliges
•Finder on Install CD so that you can backup files etc if you need to format and can't boot from HD
•More GUI based apps/control panelts for Power Users

That's my list for now.

- my SCSI Scanner back
- and the only cool think in Win2000 : the ability to lock the session... I've not found how to do this in X.1.1...
