Apple ditches aqua ‘bubble’ tabs for new look
According to archive.org, Apple rolled out the tabs around the beginning of 2000. Today, with the WWDC conference and subsequent website updates, Apple has finally lost them. OS X has undergone significant use interface changes over the years, from the release of the first edition of OS X, yet the tabs remained remarkably the same. Why would they change them now if they were reluctant to in the past? What is it about Leopard that sealed their fate? Perhaps it’s a signal that the UI is actually completely consistent? Currently in Tiger, iChat, iTunes and Safari retain the brushed metal look, while apps like Mail and iPhoto have a flatter, gray appearance.

It could be. Nothing Steve Jobs does is an accident in terms of timing…
