I happened to think that the article was well written and insightful. Tweaks, eh? Much of the significant evolution of OS X has involved what some might call "tweaks." I happen to think that the Dock comments are very apropos. The dock right now is both a central element of OS X and flawed. The 3-D implementation in Leopard seems like a step backward, too, since its appearance might make it more difficult to add functionality and information. It would be great, for example, to have information about the number of individual documents open for each application -- and a way to navigate to them a la "stacks," perhaps. Or a more "informative" downloading and processing indicators. I might also add that the "feel" of speed in an operating system is as important as benchmarks, and speed in common "simple" tasks is generally more important to average users than the time it takes to process an effect in Photoshop or Final Cut Pro. I have a range of Macs -- ranging from a dual processor G5 tower to a 24" Core 2 Duo iMac -- and I still see the infamous beach ball too many times.
