...won't come with OSX 10.9 neither.

The wish-list ist long: "Let's hope iOS Mail gets some long overdue features like smart folders. The inability to filter the view for unread messages is ridiculous in a 6th generation mail app."

Alan Baker
You're mixing up two different operating systems.

Nashton
I knew you would chime is with your denials. iOS mail is not an Apple product I suppose?

It is, but Laszlo is trying to talk about what Mac OS X 10.9 will or will not have, and what iOS has is not relevant to that discussion.

"I would love to see Mail become more a power user app adding the ability to Flag for followup. Not the Flag we have now which is only a filter, but more like Outlook so that I can Flag an email like a task and give it a date to remind me."

Alan Baker
And what APPLICATIONS can or cannot do is a reflection of how advanced the OPERATING SYSTEM is?

Nashton
It must be the file system then. HFS.

Really? How so?

"I'm hoping OS X gets Maps with a map editor like Google Map Maker and iCloud for Keychain Access."

"I really hope that all Mac hardware models supported by Lion OS X 10.8 will still be supported by the upcoming OS X 10.9 then."

"It's pretty crazy that it's taken them two years to fix the full screen app / multiple monitor problem...but at least they've finally adressed (hopefully...)."

Alan Baker
Yup. They need to do a much better job of this.

Nashton
So do you. You're pretty abysmal "advocating" for the Mac.

So now we see the truth of you revealed again...

"It would be awesome to get a modern, reliable filesystem at some point. It's only about a decade overdue."

"I would just be happy if Time Machine would check cpu load before kicking in (nice is hardly a new concept..)!"

"shame on apple for making it impossible to efficiently use screen real estate (as i used to able to do in Snow Leopard) in a product they sold me that marketed itself as increasing my screen real estate."

Nashton
Not a chirp from bakr.

OK. I haven't seen anything unreliable about HFS+ in... ..forever.

Time Machine and CPU load: I suppose it would be nice for a small percentage of users.

And I already commented on the screen usage issue.
