Actually, Quicklook only lets you look at documents on screen. You can't print them, edit them or anything. Plus, I'm not sure how many kinds of files Quicklook actually works for, so you still may need a 3rd party app to be able to read a document.
It still doesn't show whether the Stacks "fan" will work from a dock on the side, but oh well.
Nice !! Didn't look too closely at that detail, lucky him.
That works more or less the same, when you click on a folder inside a folder in a Stack, it opens it within the original "grid" view. So instead of having tabs stretching across your screen, the grid view goes deeper and deeper without taking up any more space (unless there are more files and folders of course).

This is a great guide! This is the first time most of us have ever seen Leopard in action. I can't wait to get my copy in the mail.

I'm converting it to DVD format to pass out to users.
Oh dear oh dear...
If you watch the video during the first part of install there was a "custom" button on the bottom left.Thats where you would do a custom install..
E.G. Archive and Install or a "erase drive and install".The default type would be an "upgrade".Thats what he did in the movie.
I would imagine there's a simple option for
Edit: Gah! Peace beat me.
I am very excited about stacks now. If spaces works nicely with Fusion in fullscreen, I'll be a very very happy person. I also now feel the need to get an external drive for Time Machine.
My goodness that Mac he was on was zipping along.

Leopard's looking really good! That Time Machine feature is pretty trippy. Love its user interface. I also think I'll really enjoy the coverflow Finder, too... although... I kind of wish they could figure out a way to simplify the 3-panel design (sidebar, coverflow, list underneath coverflow) down to 2 panels, just sidebar and coverflow, without losing that list of items currently under the coverflow area... or maybe if they just took that list and put it as a third column on the right side of coverflow. Three vertical columns would be easier for my eyes to read than the current design, I think.
Also, that Mail to-do list feature is a really cool idea, I've often used my email just for that purpose (emailing myself things I need to do). Love how they've made it easy to sync with Gmail and Yahoo! mail.
Also, I kept on admiring that iMac! That new thin design is just so great.

That's silly
But predictable.
I think you'll find you can probably drag the middle bar to make one section smaller and one larger, so the bottom section might still be there, just completely hidden with just Cover Flow in view.
I just hope they (Yahoo!, Google and .Mac) add in a special folder for notes and To-do's online, as that'd be much easier to keep things organised than just having it in your inbox.

Not really silly. What if you have a stack with 30 or so items? If it was in fan view it would reach up over and beyond the screen. That's why it's only grid view on the side.
You could reach the limit with the dock on the bottom too, with a widescreen couldn't you have more room on the side?
Great video, my feeling about Coverflow in Finder has gone from "What's the obsession to putting Coverflow everywhere" to "I can actually see how that will make my life easier".
BTW to the person who asked earlier, yes there was a similar video for Tiger, I remember because my wife called me a nerd for watching it. This video I made sure I was somewhere I wouldn't be abused!

Does your wife know you post here and if she does, does she read your posts
Well the "fan" wouldn't reach up on the side, it'd reach out across the screen, like a banana
I know, I know
The fan goes up and to the right.If the dock is on the bottom and in fan view it will say at the top of the fan something like " 16 more items in finder"
while some of the visuals i could do without (dock, time machine's starry night background, etc..) i think leopard is generally looking really good. i like the unified finder, i like the notes/to dos in mail, i like time machine, and a few other things.
it looks like a very sophisticated OS; which is good. i do wonder about how much horsepower stuff like quicklook and coverflow in the finder will take (i hope these new features do not mean a lot of beachballs) but so long as its reasonably snappy im feeling good about it.
now im looking forward to leopard a bit more than i was.
