| Apple to incoporate shareware into 10.2? Back in the old days there was Now Utilities that added great things to OS 7. When 7.1 came out Apple had included many of the Now Untilties functions into the OS. I was reading the do you pay for shareware thread and I was wondering which shareware functionality Apple might be likely to include in fusture OS X's. I think many of the features of FruitMenu are ripe for Apple to take. (Yes I registered mine.) What do you think? What shareware stuff should be incorporated into the OS? Also, do you feel hesitant to pay for shareware that may be made obsolete by Apple with the next release... either because they include the functionality or because the break it?

| I hope that they put a dock menu into System Preferences, along the lines of Dockprefs or Prefling. It obviously wouldn't have the amount of customizability, but it would make it so another utility wouldn't be necessary for such a simple task. I hope that some functionality of FruitMenu makes it into the OS sometime, but I doubt it will. Those Unsanity haxies bring back old OS9 functionality, and Apple wanted to step away from OS9, not bring back some things. I hope they implement spring-loaded dock folders. That would be nice

| WindowShade Hello, I think a great thing to implement is this: Clicking the minimize widget minimizes the window into the dock, but double-clicking the title bar will windowshade the window. The best of both worlds, without compromizing either! Just my 2¢

| Apple should add some theme support. And the preview app should be beefed up. Maybe make it more like GraphicConverter. ASM... the application switcher needs to come back. |

| USB overdrive would be nice to have integrated. I like the way preview is now. I have both preview and (paid) Graphic converter on my dock because as slim as it is, Graphic Converter is still bloated for simple pdf viewing.
