I don't know - although it's cool Spotlight picked that up - when was the last time you typed "Abba" in when you were looking for "Otto"? To me it's just that many more search results that you have to narrow through.
Got a tip for us?

Dictionary
I would actually hope that the dictionary data would be stored locally, so you can access it when you're offline. (Travelling and writing with a powerbook, for example.) And it would probly be faster accessing that information locally. It looks like it does live searches as you type; i think that would be difficult to do if it was drawing data in real time from a remote data source.
Remember that they could use Software Update occasionally to keep the dictionary content up to date.

I think that the word Abba must've been in that PDF, can anyone verify that please? While I think Spotlight is very smart, I don't think it's that smart.

Yeah, and if you look at their iWork preview, most of the songs in the media pane are ABBA songs

I'm sure that is the case. I agree with chameeeleon, you don't really want Spotlight coming up with clever ways to give you more search results...
I see that Spotlight uses cmd-space as the default shortcut, I'm going to have to figure out whether to keep it for Launchbar.
Seeing that command-space is now for Spotlight, can anyone tell us what the new keystroke is for switching between keyboard languages?

A good tool for open directories.
Here's an excellent tool I use for every open directory I come across. It's a javascript. Make a bookmark and edit it by pasting the code in place of the address. Then when you're looking at an open directory of image links, load the bookmark. I have gotten this to work with Safari and Internet Explorer but not Firefox.
Here's the code:
javascript:var%20sHTML="";var%20y=0;for(x=0;x<document.links.length;x++){sHTML+='<img%20src="'+document.links(x).href+'"%20onClick="document.images('+(++y)+').scrollIntoView()"%20onload="if(parseInt(this.width)>1024){this.width=1024}">'};document.body.innerHTML=sHTML
I hope everyone can see that whole thing.

The sites overloaded. Can't see the pics yet. Personally, though, I won't be jumping into Tiger until I get a G5 I can fully use the OS with (64 bit). My Clamshell iBook will definitely stay with Panther (forever most likely). Tiger probably won't even run on it.
in the keynote, steve said that spotlight could find words in a PDF (pretty amazing)
I'm looking forward to automator the most-the possibilities are endless!

Does the Spotlight blue color remind anyone else of windows XP?
It just looks like a start button in the corner of the menu bar.
And what is the new Mail storage standard? Are they moving away from mbox format?
Many thanks for the mirror and the "view all" script to the respective members.

I believe it is option-command-space
I don't know if that's what you wanted to know, but seems like different keystrokes for language and spotlight. Personally I use Quicksilver with command-space and I switch between keyboard languages with option-command-space

It's more likely that the things that *use* metal are slower to resize, eg, Safari with lots of web pages, and iApps with a lot of detailed content.
Resize a Mail document (normal window) and there's no much to move around, but resize an iPhoto (brushed metal) or iMovie (brushed metal) window and there's a lot of Quartz activity involved in redrawing all the subelements.
