Finder
Leopard presented a whole new finder with a brand new UI looking similar to iTunes. Snow Leopard takes those features and expands up on it. Apple has totally re-written the Finder app in a technology called Cocoa and, its 64-bit! Leopard's new Finder has some additional things added to the sidebar. All network computers can automatically show up in the sidebar and you can choose right in that window what you want to do. There's even a new function for Macs called screen sharing. If you press that button and the other Mac has screen sharing setup, you can view or take control of that Macs screen. Also added in is smart folders which acts exactly like smart playlists in iTunes. You can set a particular smart folder to automatically add the document to it based on your set criteria. If you make a change to that criteria, the smart folder will automatically add and/or take away files based on what you've changed. The Finder has also added a new view called Cover Flow. Its just like Cover Flow in iTunes. You can flip through all of your documents just as they were albums in iTunes. You can view a picture, Keynote presentation, Word Document, etc right from Cover Flow in Finder. These are just some of the new features in the new Finder.
