What should be in OS XI?

bossesjoe:
What do mac users think of new stuff in the next Mac OS?
These are some of my ideas:

-Custom interface, aqua looks cool, but it can get annoying
-X11 should ship with the OS preinstalled
-A single user mode, that assumes that you are the root and admin user so you don't have to always enter passwords
-More professional grade apps
-More system apps like terminal
-Runs '.exe' programs (i wish)

Aqua is OK, but I agree, it should be as customizeable out of the box as GNOME or KDE.

Yes indeed, that would be great.

That sounds like something LindowsOS or Microsoft would do.  Entering a password now and then is nothing compared to the security benefits gained by running as a limited user most of the time.

No, '.exe' programs are usually viruses and are altogether evil.

Just kidding...

What would be nice: a way to translate other system

Kintaro:
It should open source!

With OS X, the only thing proprietary is the interface (aqua). If they were to take bossesjoe's suggestion of customizable interfaces, then everything would be open source.
