Mac OS X: Panther

Is Apple's newest O.S. worth the upgrade?

I've decided to review the preview of Panther, OS 10.3. I do not have a copy of the preview version, so my responses will be limited to what I've read at Apple's new Panther site
I will also be rating each feature on a scale from 1-10 on whether or not they are worthy of considering upgrading from the might OS 10.2 Jaguar.

The major new features Apple is touting:
New Finder:

>The new iTunes-like navigation window looks like it will be a nice reworking of the interface, particularily the blindingly fast searches.

>Labels are back and a lot more tastefully done. 
Instead of shading your beautiful icons, the label shades the name of the file or folder.  Thank you Apple for bringing this feature to OS X. While I may not have much use for them, I know that a good many people of been clamoring to have their colored labels

>There is now a Secure way to delete files.  The Finder has a preference called "Secure Empty Trash" that does more than just free up the space; it actually over writes your files with random data seven different times.

All these features of the new finder seem cool, but I'm not really sure if they're worth the upgrade. There are many utilities out there that securely delete files, and Labels are nice, but I've found them unnecessary. Likewise, the new navigation window is nice, but not necessary. The fast searching feature is the only part of the new Finder that I think would be worth the upgrade.
Worth the Upgrade Rating: 3
