I hadn't really read about the improvements to Preview, but they are notable:
- It now creates page thumbnails for PDF files and displays them in a drawer to the side of the main page.
- If you drag-n-drop several JPEGs onto Preview, it opens them in one window with the first image in the main part and the other images in the drawer. Use arrow keys or click to step through them!
- If you drop an animated GIF onto Preview, each frame opens as a separate image in the drawer.
- It can open multi-page TIFF documents, which are an optional method of receiving faxes from eFaxes, so no native eFax reader is required.
- You can export to different file formats, although I'm not sure if that was there before or not.
[Editor's note: The last three bullets are from me, not wfolta, so blame me if they're wrong! I was intending on running a hint on Preview at some point, so I just merged them into this one...]
