Only really useful for dragging desktop items but useful none the less. I would like to see dragging items to the finder icon in the dock, which then opens a finder window.

And I hope they keep the Shift-click to minimize into the Dock. That's a handy reference to see where the window goes. :) Stacks in a fan or grid looks like a good feature.

What DOES do the trick is Command-Option-Click... try it, it's neat!

(Don't know if Apple put this in Leopard's dock. I've emailed them with this suggestion several times...)

Combined with stacks I am not sure there is much more anyone could want in fact!
