Of all the things Apple has posted on their Leopard "Sneak Preview" page, I believe that the next iteration of iChat is the thing I look forward to, the most. Yes, I know, TimeMachine is beautiful and functional and I would really love to have it but, it doesn't hold a candle to the functionality of iChat. Being able to videochat and show a slideshow, keynote, or, with an invite, control another user's mac with remote desktop, without any setup, through iChat; it all makes my mouth water.
Some of iChat's features I could care less about, such as: video with backgrounds or tabbed chats (I already have it quite nicely with chax.) Just the remote desktop over iChat alone would make my life of habitually repairing any and every problem with the computers of my family, friends and their pets, infinitely easier. Just imagine, if you will, the utility (not to mention awe) of fixing a family member's computer, while they watch you work your 'voodoo computer-magic.' I look forward to it and I am willing to wait until October.
