I have read some of the Jaguar details. You will have to have some minimum card (nVidia: GeForce2MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 Ti, GeForce4 or GeForce4MX. ATI: any AGP Radeon card. 32MB VRAM recommended for optimum performance) to take advantage of the Quartz graphics but I don't know if it is possible to upgrade your machine to one of them. The interesting news for me at the user level is greater scripting power for the Mail application and a significant change in some portions of AppleScript. At a lower level is the area called HiView which enables one to easily create custom windows (such as Finale would need) and create composites of the built-in controls when programming. There are some other things like toolbars but I certainly hope Finale Macintosh doesn't go for the implementation the Windows version has--I find the floating palettes method much more flexible (even though I don't use them that much). I never did see the point of having 3 inches of toolbar at the top of every document window.
