According to sources, Apple will entirely re-design the Finder in its next major Mac OS X update. The new version of the Finder, code-named "Chardonnay" (like the wine), will be totally based on the Spotlight meta-search technology which was introduced earlier this year with Tiger. The aim behind this new Finder is to offer to the user the ability to browse his files just as he browses his music. Users will be able to browse files by different criteria (name, type, creator, creation date, modification date, etc.). Elsewhere, the first benchmarks of the new PowerMacs have arrived.

This could add more abstraction to the uderlying operating system that people need to access time to time. For instance placing an iTunes plugin in Library/iTunes might become increasingly hard as they group files together by characteristic. This might start causing confusing in some instances.
