Snow Leopard was released at the amazing price of $29. The OS updates were mainly "under-the-hood" things, which explains the lower price. The next version of Mac OS X (10.7) has already been spotted online and more than a few people have been wondering what might be in the next iteration of the operating system. After all, Apple might have to show people some innovation to get them to upgrade.
TechRadar has posted the 10 things they would like to see in 10.7. They mention:
1. A unified interface
2. System-wide tagging and smart collections
3. Superior Spotlight
4. Better stacks
5. More Multi-touch
6. Configurable Spaces
7. Cloud services
8. Finder tabs and enhancements
9. Embrace third-party services
10. A Mac App Store
There's no doubt that Apple could be rolling out cloud services, as that has been rumored regarding Apple's acquisition of the Lala music service. More Multi-touch is inevitable since many of the Macs shipping today have either a Multi-touch enabled trackpad or Magic Mouse. A Mac App Store could prove to be quite beneficial to Apple, its users, and the developer community just as it has been on the iPhone and soon-to-be iPad.
You can see the list and descriptions of each of the topics on TechRadar's website. Let us know what you'd like to see in 10.7 in the comments.
