Overall, NetNewsWire is a nice rss reader, but I would rather support the open source community and use the ever improving Vienna. The one feature in NetNewsWire that I would love if I had multiple Macs or was often away from my own MacBook for extended periods of time with web access would be it's syncing feature and being able to log into NewsGator and see my feeds on the web. However, neither of those two scenarios apply to me, therefore syncing isn't a valuable feature that will get me to switch away from the great Vienna.

I guess I could be called loyal, and I am to most of my applications. If there isn't enough to get me to switch, I won't. And I can't ever see how or why anyone would have paid $30 for NetNewsWire, I know I never would have, especially when there was a great open source alternative.

I enjoyed reading the text feeds and watching the stream of WWDC 2007. It was nice to see some more features of Leopard like then new Finder, Quicklook, and the new Desktop. But, to me WWDC 2007 was more like WWDC 2006 version 2.

Quicklook, in my opinion, is pretty cool and I will definitely be using it in Leopard. The fact that it can play videos in full screen leads me to believe that Apple may be getting rid of Quicktime Pro. I think it is stupid that you have to pay $30 for full screen video playback; although, a working serial for QT Pro isn't too hard to find.

I am liking the new sidebar in the new Finder. It is now more than just a place to store folders or apps that you want to drag and drop to. The thumbnail preview of files in Finder are really cool, and I suspect that they will come in handy when you need to quickly find a PDF or Keynote presentation, but with Pages or Word documents the thumbnail previews might not be so helpful.

The semi-transparent Menu Bar on the new Desktop is a nice welcome. It would be nice if Apple allowed you to adjust the transparency of it. However, I am not digging the new Dock. I think is is very ugly, yet somewhat beautiful at the same time. I would really love to have the option to revert the Dock to a Tiger style dock. Stacks are going to be very cool and very handy. When I saw the stack with the large grid I thought, "Wow, that is just like Overflow!"

The rest of the keynote was pretty much like having to review for finals. It was pretty much everything that Steve has gone over at last year's WWDC.

Some of the features that were covered in last year's WWDC that I am looking forward to are Spaces, iChat Theater, Web Clips, and the new Mail.app.

Currently for virtual desktops I am having to use Virtue Desktops which is fine, but it takes about 6 clicks to put an app on a different desktop. Spaces solves that problem and that is the biggest reason, next to the 'exposéing' of the Spaces, I'm looking forward to that app.

iChat Theater should be pretty cool, but I believe that it will only work with someone else with iChat, which can be unfortunate.

Web Clips should be cool as well. I have a few sites in mind that I would make some Web Clips of.

All in all, I am looking forward to Leopard in October and I can't wait to find out what those other 290 secret features are.
