Mac OS X Even though Snow Leopard is supposed to be all about tweaking and performance, AppleInsider claims to have some information regarding new features coming in Snow Leopard. They claim Apple is working on bringing Exchange support to iCal, Address Book, and Mail, a feature called ImageBoot, and - insert drum roll - a new Finder written in Cocoa. Testers also claim that other bundled applications are written in Cocoa. This isn't all that weird seeing Carbon doesn't come in a 64bit flavour.

You listed a lot of useful features there, but at least in response to your desire for an "up" button: you can either add the "path" item too the toolbar (go to View -> Customize Toolbar) or simply right click on the folder name in the titlebar. (Previously, you had to command-click. I'm not sure when right clicking started to do the same thing.) This trick works in any window which has a miniature icon (document icon) in the titlebar, as well as working in Safari. I'll take the opportunity to mention here as well that if you click and hold, and then drag the mini-icon, whatever you do with the icon is treated as acting upon the file itself. You can do the whole bevy of operations available when dragging a file (move, copy, make alias, etc.)

Hope that helps.
