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

Finder update? Good!

It seems about time the Finder got looked at. It's been feeling years behind other OS components. Is anyone else tired of double-clicking the little grab bar that makes a column width actually show a whole filename? Hoping that also gets a review.
 
Siri(oulsly)

Siri is a great idea on model devices due to the tiny keyboard but I am not sure how important it would be for a desktop Mac. I don't see Siri on my iMac with this next OS X.
 
Pardon my ignorance, but Cabernet is not a big cat :rolleyes:

All this sounds good to me. I just hope my 2011 baseline MacBook Air has the power to run 10.9 with only 2 gigs of RAM.
 
App pausing and especially space/full-screen app per monitor are very welcome. I've been wanting external monitor independence for what seems like an eternity.

9to5Mac has the code name as "Cabernet" (not "Cabaret"), which is more likely to be accurate based on Apple's past use of wine for internal OS X code names (Merlot, etc).

I can't wait for Viognier

Cabernet is just a internal code name, not necessarily the name in which it will be released.
 
Glad to know, Safari will be faster, when I use it to download Firefox and Chrome.

I hope, you can turn off background suspend. When you have a process that will take days to run, you don't want to freeze it, just because you want to check something on a web page.

It would be nice, if we could set the priority of background and foreground tasks. Lets say, 95% background 5% foreground.
 
Maybe people say ¨safari feels snappier¨ because they restarted their computers after the installation and it was the first time in months, and safari actually, in those cases, would indeed be ¨snappier¨.
..anywhooo...
 
i hope they fix the expose gestures. the 4-fingers-up-to-reveal-desktop and 4-fingers-down-to-show-all-windows worked so much better. Right now it's so much more of a hassle to move files from a window to the desktop with the "pinch out" gesture

So Mountain Lion was announced in February 2012, and released in July 2012. Does that mean that if 10.9 is announced at the WWDC, it´ll be 5/6 months before the public release?

Maybe....by most accounts iOS 7 seems to be the priority over 10.9 for Apple.
 
The iOS-style multitasking thing worries me somewhat, it could be great but the thought of having to leave Coda as the "active" app while uploading a new website is horrid (as an example). As long as we get some sort of choice, I mean as useless as Launchpad is at least I can pretend it's not a part of my Mac.

Of course we know very little at this point if it is indeed even true, but it's a little concerning nonetheless.
 
So, it took Apple 2 years to bring support for multiple monitors? That's very innovative, should have been there since OS X 10.7.1 at the latest.
 
OK Apple now can you leak some stuff about iOS? Anything to wet the appetite. :)

Because as far as I know developers need a couple of months to test the preview versions and whatnot. Has apple released new OS X versions to the public without giving it to developers for testing?
