The one thing I was...

The one thing I was really impressed with from the last preview of Leopard (in ‘06) was the screen/application sharing in iChat. That functionality appears to have been dumbed down and split up between iChat and the “new” Finder.

Now it seems that you can only share screens via the Finder and only for machines on your local network. No more remote tech support for tech challenged family and friends. That feature was worth the price of admission for me as I don’t want to deal with VNC and I am not shelling out several hundred dollars for Remote Desktop.

This change seems to have gone unnoticed as people are still mentioning it as a feature (Andy even mentioned it on MBW). Sorry to see this one go.
