Mac OS X Apple website Apple Gazette is reporting rumouring that Leopard will come with an all-new interface, supposedly with lots of black glossy things (similar to Vista, indeed): "Apple Gazette has received a tip from an apple insider that the Mac OS Aqua User Interface will be replaced with a new UI named Illuminous. The source goes on to say that we will see a demonstration of Illuminous at Macworld 2007." I have never heard of this website, so I cannot make an assessment of its reliability, but suffices to say that it is highly debatable. Interesting nonetheless. Update: More info.

Late in the game?

Isn't it a little late in the game for a completely file manager redesign?

I would love to see some major changes to the Mac OS UI just to keep things fresh, but I don't think Aqua is tired yet, I think we need two things:

1. Consistency (love Uno!)
2. Many long overdue Finder features
