> A new Put Back option in the Finder's Action menu automatically returns a trashed item to the folder where it came from.

Meh. OS 9 and earlier had "Put Away" which did this and more. It also ejected drives, dismounted network volumes, and allowed the user the temporarily store files pulled out of folders on the desktop. You know, in line with the original metaphor of user at a desk the user manipulated documents and folders on.

(Yes, I'm still grumpy from how Apple screwed up the "spatial" nature of the original Finder.)

Finder has to be the weakest part of the OS X experience at the moment.

Very much agreed.

Is it just coincidence that both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 are focusing on performance improvements?

Vista didn't fit in netbooks. They had to make the improvements or support XP for more time.

So why is Apple also working on this? Do they want to build netbooks?

"While it's rumored that Apple is keeping some more significant interface changes close to its chest at this time..."

I sure hope so because I see no reason to get it with, basically, only those changes.

the reason is probably "let's not release all the revolutionary UI stuff we had thought at the same time, so we can send a dozen other felines with minor enhancements, one every year".

Two features I miss from Win/Gnome/KDE world: cut+paste and merging of folders (when you move something to a folder which has another with the same name, you actually override it in OSX). It's probably just me. Meh...
