I'm surprised that the Activity Monitor doesn't have a CPU Time column. The total time a process has accumulated is an important part of the command-line top display, and I'm sorry it's not included here.
The features shown in the screenshots might not make you think a 10.3 upgrade is worth paying for, but not all improvements are visual. For Jaguar, Jobs said there were 129 features for $129 dollars. So without knowing the full feature list and real price, it's too soon to decide whether Panther is "worth the price".
Finally, it's obvious what Microsoft will call their version of Exposé. They'll call it Expose (pronounced EX-POZE). Then they'll accuse Apple of being unpatriotic for using the French version.

umm my email is jessefoxperry@yahoo.com id be glad to see some screenshots come my way....and would pay some money for a little extra........
I'd buy it for Exposé alone. I AM Let1kWindowsBloom.
Of course, I'd also buy it even if I couldn't tell the difference...
Another approach is to pick up a used PowerBook or iBook to hold you over for the first quarter/semester, and then pick up a new machine around Christmas (and sell the twice-used PowerBook).
It might be a little more expensive (or not if the prices on the new machines drop for Xmas), but in the end you get what you want.
If these are fake, they're damned good
Silly little idosyncrasies aside, if these shots are fake they are very well done, imaginative, and well flushed out.
There are a lot of subtle visual tweaks (other than the milk look) that look like the work of the Apple team.
As opposed to the LAME piles "Panther" shots...
Just take a look at the full desktop and see what I mean.
They could be fake, but if they are bravo. Very well done. So much so, that I happen to believe they are real.
And for those of you saying "under the hood" improvements don't justify the upgrade without a ton of new features...uh, the Jaguar UI can be a little less snappy than desired sometimes...
Although ALL the iApps need updating. iCal needs to be exchange compatible pronto.
And hopefully AppleWorks will see some major improvements, and hopefully the rumored accounting SW will be out in some form...
Anyway, rambling........

Re: NEW MAC OS X SHOTS
Dude... you definitely just posted that screenshot for the second time. Not cool. I'm not sure if it was because you didn't get the attention you wanted before, I thought they were funny, but please don't post anything more than once, unless it needs reiteration.
oh, really thats my bad because im on like 3 different forums and do'n other stuff and i forget what im doing. i wont do it again
This is really just my angry opinion, but AppleWorks needs to be shot.
Apple just absorbed Claris to rename ClarisWorks AppleWorks, but it's still a sub-par office app. I think Keynote is evidence that Apple's got a real office suite on the horizon. Sure, it would piss off Microsoft to the point of stopping MS Office development, but if Apple can just put together decent compatibility, that'll be a moot point.
As for the pics, I love the new finder window they show. Not really because it's brushed metal (although I'm glad to see something that isn't just plain white with pinstripes), but because of that sweet new take on the navigation. That looks like the ultimate way to get through one's directories easily.
Can't wait for Monday!
BTW, while I really do hate Claris, I love Clarus (moof! to all that get the reference).
You too?
I'm hoping that 10.3 won't choke my overclocked 466 too bad so as to have time enjoying this version while saving for the expected G5. There is no way I won't install 10.3. I'll go insane if I don't

1. Calm down everyone, Panther will run on your systems better than Jaguar ever did.
2. Those screenshots are obviously fake. They look real, because they are not doctored in photoshop (for the most part), instead they are made by hacking a regular jaguar installation.
3. Apple didn't take it down because of the above.
4. This does not feel apple-like at all, who ever did it may have fooled most people, but I am not fooled, and come monday, you will see that, indeed, these screenshots are fake.

if he just hacked these....hes a excellent hacker.....i still dont know what to think about these screen shots
Call me crazy but...
I'm sorta hoping that the screenshots are fake. I want to be surprised Monday morning. Maybe this, and the PowerMac leak, is all a big conspiracy by Steve to lull us into thinking that this is all there is, and then, come WWDC, he'll pull something really crazy.
Then again, maybe I'm wrong...

Someone said that there was nothing new in the dock, but there is!
There is now a line over the icon of the front most app. Nice little touch.

censored iChat
I think that the censored pics of iChat video-conferencing windows, aside from no picture from a possible lack of camera, that it might be something along the lines of a DVD screen cap, in that when someone attempts to screen cap an iChat videoconference, a "censored" warning appears in the cap.
Just a guess, but it's in line with Apple's minimal DRM. I think it's also illegal to "record" someone without their permission in most states, and maybe a vid cap represents something like that.

The screen shots are real. Period. It's not a Duality theme or anything like that. Many parts of the shown interface don't exist at all, like the new (and very sleek) finder window (the brushed metal hard drive window) (and you said it wasn't Photoshopped...).
Despite Apple Legal's reputation, they don't pull everything. The only thing they're sure to pull is leaked hardware, they aren't nearly as trigger happy with screen shots.
It looks very Apple. Sleek, with many new and old features being added (can you explain the ability to add labels? No Jaguar hack will give you a menu for that). It looks like a real step forward for OS X, and come Monday we'll get to see this new look in all its glory.
Has anyone taken a close look at folder.jpg?
The file in the background next to "Move to Trash" seems to be titled "DellOnline.doc".
Not that I necessarily even know what that could mean, if anything.
