[closed] Mac OS 10.7 Lion Predictions...

Hopefully they can make it boot faster. And if possible, create a wine like program that is specifically designed for running games designed for windows.

something nobody really wanted but after seeing it people will not be able to go without it.e.g.iPad

I own a PowerBook G4, which support was unfortunately cut for in Snow Leopard, but I wouldn't be surprised if 10.7 cut support for the original Core Duos since they are not 64-bit, and Apple seems to really be trying to make everything 64-bit. An updated UI is really needed. My PowerBook runs Tiger and my iMac runs Snow Leopard, and the desktops are nearly identical. And it's not just that--OS functionality between the two barely differ. The "Back to the Mac" name makes it sound like OS X is going to be getting the overhaul it needs, as OS X has only gotten small incremental updates every 1-3 years over the past 10 years (Tiger and Leopard were what I'd consider the biggest steps forward, but there has never been a major UI overhaul). I'd assume that it'll be released in about a year. My guess would be that they show it off next week and make a beta available to developers (well, at least I hope they would so I, as a developer, could try it out!) and then talk about it's new technologies with developers at WWDC 2011 before finally releasing it to the general public. Hopefully...
