A quick rundown of some of my favorite little things from Snow Leopard:

• Seems slightly faster – maybe 10% faster for most operations
• Minimize to dock icon instead of to no-man’s land next to trash
• Time Capsule can now back up hourly speedily. Used to have to use TimeMachineEditor and modify for every 4 hours to avoid constant backups
• Time Machine backup mounted DMG isn’t generic icon anymore
• Search now can search ‘current folder’ by default instead of the entire mac
• Expose shows minimized windows below main windows, smaller icons.
• Expose, pressing spacebar while moused over a window shows full size preview of window.
• Column view allows you to sort by type, etc
• More animations in finder when reordering, etc. Everything seems smoother.
• The much hyped stacks improvements. You can now navigate thru folders.
• 4 finger swipe on older Macbook Pros!
