The new look and feel of Leopard is different without demanding that you relearn the layout. The Dock organizing applications and files becomes a bit more transparent. Bump it over to one side, and the Dock looks a bit flatter. A drop shadow now highlights the active window, and all windows share a unified visual design.

The index, which is designed to provide an early indication of conditions, rose to 52.9 from 51.9 in August, mainly reflecting stronger gains in output and new business.

cool list with nice screenshots, must have been a lot of work! thanks alot.
