This article from Wired echoes something I said on Your Mac Life last year when Tiger was revealed: Spotlight is a compliment to the Finder that indicates the future, non-Finder, direction of file management.
Two small picky criticism about the article:
The way Searchlight transforms the computing experience is akin to Google’s effect on the web, say the designers at frog, which has helped create the look and feel of hundreds of consumer products, including the Mac SE and the Windows Media Player.
It’s not “Searchlight”, it’s Spotlight. Calling all editors…
“Both of these developments are indications that the Finder is not meeting people’s needs. I think and hope that the Finder as we know it will go away in the next two years, likely with Mac OS 11.” (frog creative director Cordell Ratzlaff, who previously worked at Apple Computer, where he directed human interface design for Mac OS 8 through Mac OS X.)
No. Steve told us Monday that the current Apple OS in two years will be 10.5, Leopard. Have you watched the keynote?
