the definitive 150 features list

[crash]

not to call apple liars but i want to have a list of all 150 features. we all know the big ones, so if you found a tiny feature improvement, list it here so we can all see it. and i think counting iChat as a "feature" is ok in this case.

1.) Quartz Extreme
2.) Rendevous
3.) iChat
4.) improved universal access
5.) improved desktop sys pref
6.) font-smoothing options in "general" sys pref
7.) address book
8.) new "CDs and DVDs" sys pref
9.) changed "internet connect" app
10.) improved sharing sys pref
11.) improved software update sys pref
12.) improved internet sys pref (with really good .mac functionality)
13.) small change to energy saver sys pref
14.) new options for classic control
15.) the little spinning arrows (when the app is trying to display a long list of files or whatever)are now repaced with a spinning series of bars.
16.) search in toolbar in finder windows
17.) better SMB support as evidenced by the "connect to server" option in finder
18.) new "eject" menu item in finder
19.) new cursor for apple+shift+4
20.) audio MIDI Setup
21.) ODBC administrator app
22.) Bluetooth file exchange app
23.) inkwell
24.) sherlock 3
25.) fancier get info box

by far not an exhaustive list, so if you guys know any little features, post them!!

There's a guy at Apple (Ken Bereskin) that has the database of all the improvements. Will be posting regularly:

that;s no fun! i thought it would be cool if everyone posted a cool feature. (by the way, i knew about the calculator features and forgot to add them.)

Okay - I'm game!

Under Universal Access (many useful even if you are not disabled)
26. Zoom
27. White on Black
28. Flash screen for alert sounds

Under Speech
29. Talking Alerts

30. Terminal supports ANSI colors (I think this is new)

I'd add more, but let other people play.

Well, you forgot spring loaded folders, the new show modem display and connection time in the menu bar, when you minimize a window in the dock it now has the icon of the app it is from on it,the bluetooth app, the new screen when you first boot your mac, no longer the smilely mac, replaced by the apple logo, the new scroll speed setting under the mouse pref, they renamed screen saver to screen effects (not really a feature) , other things I have forgotten or haven't noticed yet.

31.) anyone notice the little noise when you move items to the trash?
32.) lots of new options in terminal... native window transparency is a big one
33.) new copy cursor (try option-dragging a file)
34.) vastly improved preview.app
35.) i forgot to mention mail.app and all its fancy new features

all for now. keep it going guys!
