New Build of Snow Leopard, 10A394, Includes features shown at WWDC 2009 Demo
A new built of Mac OS X Snow Leopard was seeded to the very unhappy developers who received the WWDC 2009 build, which did not include the features shown in the keynote, however, the new version has been rumored to include all of the features shown at the keynote (However this is unconfirmed), including the beloved Dock Expose feature.
The Dock Expose feature is being dubbed as a rip from Windows 7, ironic, because Apple has always poked fun at the Windows camp for stealing features from Mac OS X, but it seems to be the opposite this time. In Windows 7, if you have multiple windows of a program running, you put the mouse over the application group in the taskbar and the windows of that program will fan out to show you their content, much like Mac OS X Snow Leopard’s feature.The Apple camp has dismissed the idea of Apple copying this Windows 7 feature
because it would take “far too long” for Apple to recreate that feature in the amount of time between the Windows 7 release and the Snow Leopard demo at the WWDC 2009 keynote.
