"OS X 10.5 Leopard is the best operating system released by Apple so far and runs neck and neck with Ubuntu's Gutsy Gibbon as my favorite operating systems to use. In the past I wanted to get an iMac, but not because of OS X but rather because of their sleek hardware. Now after using Leopard, I want to buy an iMac to run Leopard. Nice job Apple."

Quickly opening a preview of your app in the file manager without opening the associated application? That sounds a lot like Quick View, a somewhat half baked feature in Windows 95/98 which was later abandoned like Microsoft. Let's hope the OS X implementation fares better.
Not so different to the document previews that appeared in NeXTSTEP's inspector panel...

Like a lot of OSX features its not original, but the first time it's been implemented in a good user-friendly way. That's the whole Apple strength : taking what you thought were half-baked ideas and turning them into cool applications.
