A long, winding (and fascinating) “Road” at AppleInsider

A quick update: I wanted to call attention to a great series of articles on AppleInsider previewing interface novelties in the upcoming Leopard incarnation of Mac OS X. This isn’t your usual Apple fanboy boosterism, however—each article places a single new feature of the OS in historical context, with screenshots from earlier operating systems (I find the comparisons with NeXTSTEP particularly interesting).
Here are links to the articles published in the “Road to Mac OS X Leopard” series to date:
Road to Mac OS X Leopard: Finder 10.5
Road to Mac OS X Leopard: Dock 1.6
Road to Mac OS X Leopard: Spaces
Road to Mac OS X Leopard: Time Machine
Road to Mac OS X Leopard: Mail 3.0
Road to Mac OS X Leopard: iChat 4.0
Road to Mac OS X Leopard: iCal 3.0
Road to Mac OS X Leopard: Safari 3.0
