OS X 10.9 to Bring Enhancements to Finder, Safari, Multiple Monitor Support, and Multitasking

Dual monitor management is the best on OSX of the 3 major OS's. 
The ability to use the secondary monitor during a fullscreen app on the primary would be a nice feature though, although I hardly see that a whole new version is necessary for such a simple change. Just update 10.5-present with such a feature?
I can dream

many of you
many of you with speedy interwebs may find safari slow but for some reason I find it just fine with my 2.5Mbps connection. I guess its only as fast as your connection.

cellular support?
So when is OS X going to get cellular support, such as that available in iOS on the iPad?
I've held off buying my next MacBook Pro in the hope that it will have it. I want full-time internet connectivity like the iPad, and I need it on an OS X machine.

already know that you can do Cmd-C on the source and then Option-Cmd-V in the destination. No need for Cmd-X.----------
This is a hardware feature, not an OS feature. I'd like to have it as well since I can't stand iPads.
That indeed is a good point.
Do you mean the finder window that pops up showing the contents of the DMG?
No, there is an application (dashboard?) that pops up after downloading something
Dashboard isn't an app, it's built into the dock. I'm not exactly sure what you mean
Are you referring to the Launchpad that pops up when you download something from the App Store? You can stop that from happening if I recall. Just drag the Launchpad icon out of the dock.
Man, I hope they do Finder tags right! With improved metadata and search, the Finder could potentially replace so many third-party file management apps. Why Apple has virtually ignored this potential for so long is a bit of a mystery.
Launchpad would probably be what your talking about… and why is it bad that launchpad shows up after an app is installed?
I'm sure that is not case if implemented correctly. Other operating systems use ZFS and I don't believe they would ship an OS that crashes once an external is ejected.
Thanks, it doesn't bother me that much but I think it would confuse people new to the OS.

It's weird and confusing to people new to the OS
This seems to be a dot release, i.e. minor update as opposed to a new, named OS (whatever cat they will use this time). I'm a little dissapointed.

You have absolutely nothing to base that off of. Especially considering that OSX has migrated to a yearly release schedule with a new name. Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion.
This will be no different.
What is wrong with getting a cellular USB stick so those that don't need that function wouldn't have to pay to have it integrated

I agree. I highly doubt it would be that hard to make it possible, but who am I to say? This feature alone makes me excited for 10.9!
you can't do that right now? Maximize, full screen that is, a window on the main monitor and use the other with the menu bar?
I can, that's what I currently do, but I guess I didn't consider that "full screen mode".
The people that dont need the function dont have to pay for it
So you are wanting even more skus?
Why couldn't they use FreeBSD's version? I'm to understand it used an earlier licence version to bypass the restrictions making it unfeasible use outside of Oracle.
ZFS equivalent and tagging would be monumental!
I use BetterTouchTool for exactly this reason. It allows me to customize my gestures for my trackpad -- and in my case, I did indeed "bring back" the four-finger swipe up to show the desktop! Not to mention the much-easier four-finger swipe sideways to show all running apps.
