"I don't know about this. If you delete files and they're always still there, how quick is a hard-drive going to fill up? What if you don't want to get some old files back? Is there an option to permanently delete?"My guess: They have a fall-off horizon; after so many days (or after you've got so much data backed up), the old stuff falls over the Event Horizon and is unrecoverable. It's likely you can choose these things in it's preferences panel. As for deleting the backups, that's anyone's question, but we do know it's possible to select folders and tell them not to backup via Time Machine. If they're thinking about it, they might even just enable Time Machine for your user profile (or your files parts of it) and the Application's directory.

Build and run a new generation of 64-bit applications that address massive amounts of memory. Leopard takes 64-bit computing to the next level, while maintaining full performance and compatibility for your existing 32-bit applications and drivers.Enhanced 64-bit SupportLeopard delivers 64-bit power in one, universal OS. Now Cocoa and Carbon application frameworks, as well as graphics, scripting, and the rest of the system are all 64-bit. Leopard delivers 64-bit power to both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs, so you don’t have to install separate applications for different machines. There’s only one version of Mac OS X, so you don’t need to maintain separate operating systems for different uses.Bridge the Generation GapNow that the entire operating system is 64-bit, you can take full advantage of the Xeon chip in Mac Pro and Xserve. You get more processing power at up to 3.0GHz, without limiting your programs to command-line applications, servers, and computation engines. From G3 to Xeon, from MacBook to Xserve, there is just one Leopard.
"I'm undigging you, in my mind." Hahaha! I've done that a bunch of times too.There really needs to be an easy way to undig a comment! Am I missing something? I'm a bit of a n00b. I found the undigg an article bit...
There will be more. @rye425 - Agree - there is a place for both - and thankfully - both is easier now.But its good for MS to loose some market share - and with lepoard looking way better than vista can dream to be, I think it may slowly happen to an extent."Redmond" needs a kick in the ass - lets face it - they've messed with us for a few years now!

This isn't all as he is saving the best for absolutely last so that Microsoft doesn't copy.

Go try a linux liveCD and you can learn what virtual desktops are for free (if you download it and burn to a CD-RW ;-) )

You can always replace the icon with the blank iCal icon. That's what I did and it's just fine.
