Re:Safari and Firefox both scale tabs in the same
"Yes till about 15 tabs. Firefox can accomodate over 25 on my screen."
Here's Safari with 25 tabs open -- each tab has enough space available to feature a meaningful label, and 'overflow' tabs are available in a pull-down menu.
Here's Firefox with 25 tabs open -- each tab only has a favicon listed, which makes it difficult to determine what each tab is. Additionally, you can't access all the tabs at once -- it doesn't even offer a pull-down menu to access tabs past the edge.
Safari manages to keep the visible tabs at a useable size, and provides a simple way to access the rest. Firefox shrinks tabs to the point of uselessness, and prevents you from accessing the overflow. -

Safari and Firefox both scale tabs in the same way
"As for the tabs It looks like they are taking up screen space instead of becoming smaller."
Err, that image shows Safari with 3 tabs open, and then with 10 tabs open.
Here's the same thing in FireFox -- it scales tabs exactly the same way. -

Safari tabs, OS X user accounts, add-ons.
"In safari the tabs are fixed size. Once you have more tabs then can fit on your bar you have to use the stupid drop down. In firefox the tabs automatically resize temselves."
Safari's tabs scale. Here's a demo I whipped up for you."5) Profiles"
Mac OS X has user account built-in. An application shouldn't have an independent way of managing users.
And personally, I use Saft and PithHelmet to address your other concerns. -
I'm sorry...
...but a real Mac still looks much nicer, as demonstrated here.
Hail to the thief, indeed. -
Panther runs just fine on my Late 2001 iBook...
Your belief that Panther doesn't run on G3 systems is incorrect.
Panther runs just fine on my Late 2001 iBook, and here's the screenshot to prove it.
Perhaps you need a new source of Macintosh information... -
Re:Some of these look faked.
The image is supposed to be showcasing a new feature called "expose" (it these are real that is), which should help managing your windows. Take a look at the preferences.
Also you'll notice, that foreground windows are shaded grey and have coloured stoplight buttons, while the unfocused window is plain white and has monochrome stoplight buttons. So, apparently unfocused titlebars are not translucent anymore.
I really hope those screenshots are either fake or just plain unpolished/unfinished. Jaguar looks way better IMHO. -
Re:wonderful, *IF* you've got a Radeon or GF2...I have ranted very briefly on the speed of Jaguar on my iBook here.
Anyway, on my late 2001 iBook 600 (with 640MB RAM), the WWDC Jaguar Dev Seed is a little quicker, but it's not by leaps and bounds. This is no 10.0 to 10.1 style boost, at least not at the moment.
It's better, but it don't expect too much. The new Finder is much faster though...
Now for the random screenshots...
Startup Disk. The only place where the OS is refered to as "10.2", thus feeding the "10.5" rumours.
Lots of new Jaguar Stuff. New System Preferences, About This Mac, iChat, Terminal, About QuickTime...
Aqua Blue Beachball. The new spinning cursor.
Anyway, if you want to know anything specifically, post here... -
