Katie MarsalThe tour, built out of a series of YouTube videos from MyAppleGuide, shows some of the key changes made to the operating system in the WWDC build released to developers earlier this month.
So far, the six clips on hand tackle core interface features like the updated Finder, Preview, Stacks, System Preferences and the overhauled interface of QuickTime Player X.
An introduction (shown below) also discusses some of the harder to quantify experiences of Snow Leopard, including significantly improved installation and startup tiimes as well as a default setting that hides the Macintosh HD icon. Not all of the features shown during Phil Schiller's keynote are accessible, however, and omit Expose integration with the Dock, among other features shown at WWDC.

Videos will disappear in 3, 2, 1....
He keeps calling it Quicktime "X" in his videos.
Isn't it Quicktime "10"? ... or what?
"Macintosh HD" is the only place I can think of where Apple's current products use "Macintosh" spelled out.

Technically, yes, but X is the Roman numeral for ten so it?s only incorrect to those pedant about the vocalization.
I really don't know what Apple is thinking with the tasteless purple smear desktop and that hideously tacky Quicktime X icon. The conventional wisdom among pretty much *all* my artist friends (and me included), that one would have to be blind or stoned to think they are attractive in any way.
When Leopard came out the first question I was asked by almost every person I installed it for was "how do I get rid of that desktop picture for good?"
