Quick Look a system-wide concept - like Live Thumbnails in Vista - except Quick Look seems more powerful. In normal icon view, the icons are live representations of the contents which you can instantly expand to full screen by pressing the space bar - true high res representations, and then flip pages of excel spreadsheet sheets etc - and of course you can see all the documents in a folder at once.

I'm surprised that someone who's a developer would even look at the Dock, they should try out Quicksilver. Any seasoned Mac user would customise their desktop experience anyway. The default settings are set up in a way to make it easy and consistent for switchers and casual users. QuickLook is the implementation of Coverflow in the Finder, but CoverFlow is a deep system-wide technology that combines Core Graphics and Core Image. The sexiest part is the combination of Coverflow with Remote Admin features, and this is ground work, in my opinion for a much more beefed up dot mac service and cloud computing. Then it's up to Apple and Google when they decide the time is right to revel the plans. If I was Steve Balmer, I'd be a very worried little monkey and stop sitting on the universal binary of Office 2008 for Mac OS X. The longer he tries to stop the inevitable, the more it'll hurt MS in the long run. I always find it fun asking MacBU what the current excuse is for not implementing audio and video support in Messenger... Yah, someone’s got it on an external Firewire 800 raid…
