Tiger coming April 15th
According to [link|http://www.thinksecret.com/news/0503tiger.html|ThinkSecret] (which was then reported at news.com).
Apple will officially announce Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger's release at an event in early April and will begin shipping the operating system within two or three weeks afterwards, Think Secret has learned. Apple has previously only stated that Tiger will ship during the first half of the 2005.
The event, sources say, is currently scheduled for Friday, April 1 and will be delivered via satellite to numerous locations around the world. Unknown at this point is where the event will take place and whether the media or other outsiders will be invited to attend. Well placed sources say Tiger will likely be in stores by April 15.

Looking forward to this big time.

I think dashboard widgets will be huge
Little tiny custom javascript components. At least I hope so. I'm hopeful that it will lower the bar to creation of new web services with native front ends and that we'll see some real innovation beyond the obvious stock quoter and weather bug.

I can't wait for Spotlight
Especially for the bit which enables "Smart Folders", where you attach a Spotlight search to a folder and any file that matches the search is automagically accessible from that folder.
Kind of like iTunes Smart Playlists, which I also like a whole lot.

A buddy of mine has tried Spotlight
(ADC member, gets 10.4 builds)
Says it sucks compared to Quicksilver.

I've heard good things about Quicksilver
The guy who runs [link|http://merlin.blogs.com/43folders/|43 Folders] is a big fan and it seems like you can do a lot of cool things with it.

QuickTime 7 with H.264

My brother's interested in the Parental Controls.

Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.

exactly
sooner is better, but only if it works. Apple doesn't need any bad press
'cause something is "just broken"...
Have fun,
