That's a good way to put it. Seems like every time I'm describing what 
I think are the most important features of Tiger, it boils down to what 
it allows developers to do.

For example, I see so much potential in the search API's in Tiger and 
Spotlight just seems to scratch the surface.

Then there's Dashboard. The widgets don't excite me as much as the 
ability to program using JavaScript and HTML -which opens the door for 
a lot more people.

Same for Core*. Doesn't do a whole lot from the user's perspective, but 
it really raises the bar on what developers can include in an app with 
minimal work on their own part.
