I genuinely can't wait to get my hands on Leopard, and I pre-ordered from the Apple Store the moment it was available.
That said, I'm finally getting worried about some of the eye candy that Core Animation is making available. Books that shatter when you delete them? I'm not entirely convinced that is either useful or even "HIG-ish." Books don't shatter in the real world when I lend them to a friend, toss them in a donation bin or set fire to them on the sidewalk. I would have accepted something like tipping forward to fall off the shelf, or even falling left or right and temporarily knocking its neighbors around before disappearing and setting everything back to normal.
But shattering? From Delicious Monster? I'm worried.
