Silvorgold Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 theres rumors around that apple is already working on OS 10.3 (aka cheetah) and there might be chance that it'll be another paid upgrade :(, it will probably be announced as early as MWSF '03 or as late as MWNY '03 probably... so what do u expect/want to see on 10.3? im hoping to see an apple created (since chimera creator david hyatt works for apple) internet browser since we can see that since microsoft and apple's 5 year contract expired, apple is slowly getting away from microsoft, imovie2 (or 3 or whatever), alot BETTER classic support (within osx) concidering no more os9 as of jan 1st, and hopefully seeing a better version of appleworks, appleworks 6 reminds me too much of appleworks 5...they need new features to work with... what do u want to see (or expect) for OS 10.3?

Chad Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 The codename for 10.3 is Panther, not Cheetah. Macrumors.com has a short (very short) write-up about it. Me, I'm just happy 10.2.1 is out. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich-X Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 i bet it'll be 10.5 not 10.3, and superfula is correct, its codename Panther not cheetah, cheetah was the codename of the original 10.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like saying open source zeealots could take Windows, decompile it to get the source code, recompile it for another platform, distribute it, and there not being any recourse from Microsoft about it. --dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azazel- Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 Would you guys really want to see Darwin "linux-ized" like that? I mean, one of the most compelling features of OS X is Aqua, and the open source community has yet to come up with seriously decent GUI foundation (not meaning XFree86, I mean the windowmanagers). I wouldn't want to see it *******ized just so I could have in on a PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkenMaster Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 1) 64 Bit processor support. This will be included rather easily since they just have to sink up with the FreeBSD tree anyways. Drool.... the Power4 IBM chips on OSX....drool....hope it happens. 2) More ported Unix apps included with the system. 3) Improve the developer apps and improve upon Unix cross platform portability. BTW: You'll never see OS X on x86 anything unless Apple can make sure they can stop BIOS hacking and have anyone w/ an Intel/AMD hack into it and change their desktop system into a MAC.

It's actually quite a good idea to tell the truth, you can run it on your precious pc yet apple still makes a profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosignull Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 tieing the os into the bios ... sounds low if u ask me, if they did do that i wouldnt get the os out of principle. As for 10.3 i would really like better old world suport. there is no way im going to install a version of osx that doesnt let u boot into classic because thatle make my pritner useless and the video in/out card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerbero Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 I think Jaguar is great, but the one part of the OS that is kind of sub standard, is the Finder.. I'd really like to see a more advanced one in future versions of OS X. For one, I'd like to be able to cut-and-paste a file (with apple-x), and not just rely on dragging to move a file. Windows' explorer has this, and I think it's a really nice feature. Also, there should be a view similar to the "tree view" in the Windows explorer. I'd use SNAX instead of the Finder, but that'd leave me without a desktop picture and desktop icons.. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 oh you're talking about "Panther" what do i expect, more of those applications witht the "i" before its name :p hopefully soon we'll see Mac OSx86 :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
