It used to be that when you got a event reminder and clicked to close it, iCal would gain the focus and be placed on top of all other windows or, if you "hard" closed it, the iCal icon would sit and bounce endlessly until you brought iCal to the front. Well, no more. Close the event and go back to your business. Another thing that is fixed now is related to iCal.

This is, essentially, dynamic version control and would be a huge win for someone like me. IntelliJ (http://www.jetbrains.com) does this somewhat with it's local history capabilities in it's programming environment, and many individual programs do this with their auto-backup/recover settings, but this would bring the functionality to all. Kind of like how it makes more sense to do image stabilization in-camera instead of in-lens!
