TuxLenix Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) I'm not a big fan of mac's but I do use them. A friend of mine was told by a friend of his that Steve Jobs will be previewing Leopard and even give people a shipping date. I not asking people to belive me but I do know that this friend of his works for apple. "I just wanted to share what I heard so stop quoting, Belive me or not it's all up to you. I'm not asking you to belive me." -We will all see tom. just remember me if it's ture and you'll see. Edited January 9, 2006 by TuxLenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raskren Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 A better topic title would be: "Will S. Jobs preview Leopard at Macworld?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novaoblivion Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Yeah I cant wait till Macworld either this is my first year with a Mac. It would be very interesting if they preview Leopard I wonder what they are working on to blow Vista out of the water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonzie Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 @kiall,you will most like have to do a clean install of your OS X - I don't know how well a new OS X revision copes with archive and install. Has anyone done that when they upgraded from Panther (10.3) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vice Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 @kiall,you will most like have to do a clean install of your OS X - I don't know how well a new OS X revision copes with archive and install. Has anyone done that when they upgraded from Panther (10.3) ? you have 3 options Archive -> Install Format -> Install Upgrade -> Install I have done "Upgrade -> Install" on my old Mac and no problems at all. with my new mac it was a clean install of Tiger also no options or anything different over my upgrade on my older Mac so I think it handles it all fine.

Simon Veteran Posted January 9, 2006 Veteran Share Posted January 9, 2006 I'm hoping there will be an announcement about iTunes for Linux (without wine/CodeWeavers). I've heard rumors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeNIX Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 It's just like a paid service pack, they whack in some useless features and charge 90 pounds. Nothing to blow 'vista' out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaggleNinja Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Funny to see you mention that when there's not even a feature list out. How much can they really change? The layout of Finder? Make every Aqua app recolored to coincide with iTunes? Add some more widgets? Few new applications? OS X in its current incarnation is about as good as it's going to get. It's pretty close to perfection, whereas when Vista comes out...theres a *lot* MS could improve from XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyClaw Veteran Posted January 9, 2006 Veteran Share Posted January 9, 2006 It's just like a paid service pack, they whack in some useless features and charge 90 pounds. Nothing to blow 'vista' out. Umm hardly, OS X already blows vista out as you put it and Leopard has the potential for a brand new reengineered finder, enhanced virtual desktops, even faster user switching, an enhanced GUI among other things. The features vista offers are simply catching up to what Tiger already offers and Leopard will just increase the gap that already exists. But lets not make this a vista vs leopard thread, no need for that. I just can't wait for tomorrow, whatever happens, it's going to rock our worlds as usual.
