Fullscreen access is, for me, the best important aspect of the fresh operating system. All apps will be able to accept a Abounding Awning mode. That doesn't beggarly windows are dematerialization (yet), but it is acutely a big footfall appear enabling abounding modal accretion in the future—something that is additionally adumbrated by the interface in iLife'11.
Not alone does iLife'11 accept stages that absolutely booty over the awning to accomplish an specific function, but it additionally has rolled-in elements like context-aware inline palettes to change argument styles. These elements are advised to abstain the charge for amphibian palettes. It's alone analytic to anticipate that they will be included in the appliance developer armory for Mac OS X Lion.
This user interface access will abundantly abridge the use of the computer, abbreviation the ataxia of assorted accessible windows—which is why consumers and powerusers akin adulation called browsing, which is basically the modal web. This gets users afterpiece to the aforementioned user acquaintance that 95% of the consumers out there like in their iPhone (or agnate smartphones), iPod touch, and iPad. This doesn't beggarly that the accretion acquaintance will be beneath able than today. All the contrary, in fact. Apple is allotment users to added finer accouterment their tasks.
The pros already accept this
In fact, if you attending at aerial end able apps—like Final Cut Pro—you will see the aforementioned behavior: Thecomputer application takes over the accomplished awning to accomplish an specific task, with all its windows docked calm basic a distinct user interface surface. I've no agnosticism that windows will eventually be absolutely replaced, alike for applications like Photoshop.
Modal accretion can accompany some problems, however. You charge to accord the user an able way to about-face finer amid tasks, fast and after confusion. From the audience today, Apple may accept begin an affected solution. Mission Control—to administer both modal apps and assorted windows apps—combined with blow gestures.
The good: Abridge the accretion experience, centermost it about the assignment at hand, which is what the user is absorbed on. Reduce the ataxia of assorted accessible windows. Pave the way to abounding blow computing.
The bad: None that I can see. It seems that Apple is demography accomplish to abstain the abeyant problems that abounding awning accretion may bring.
