200+ features for Tiger!

Apple has just released a page describing in detail the new features that will be available in OSX Tiger, which will be available at the end of the month.

All of the new major features such as automator, spotlight, quicktime 7, dashboard, etc, are mentioned. There's also a few smaller features that I haven't heard about yet which include:

• Certificate support in addressbook for displaying public key information
• Smart groups/folders/mailboxes in addressbook/finder/mail that auto update based on predefined rules
• Flight tracker, stock tracker, translation and weather widgets for dashboard
• iChat and iTunes integration to show your currently playing tune in iChat's status :)
• New mail interface (interesting to see how it compares to Thunderbird)
• gcc 4.0 including 64bit support and XCode 2
• Xgrid "...turns a group of Macs into a supercomputer..." (!)
• Korn shell inclusion
• ... and more
