+John. 1,395 Posted February 16, 2012 This announcement comes out of the left field. :blink: Indeed it does! It's clear that the Verge announcement was under a hell of an NDA for this one. Looks to be a very good upgrade to OS X. Looking forward to getting home and getting the preview! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudy 457 Posted February 16, 2012 Ah come on :/ I stay home from work to get working on a new game and Apple does this? Now I have to resist downloading and installing it :( Edit: AH! the dev center is down...... hopefully I can get back in "working" mode and just keep working (not likely) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FMH 717 Posted February 16, 2012 So far from what I have seen, I don't think this would cause Windows team to lose any sleep. Its just an an upgrade, despite what many analysts are calling it, such as those at Bloomberg. Calling it 'Apple's answer to Windows 8'. It certainly is not. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ExchangeAdm 3 Posted February 16, 2012 So that's there new features? It does not inspire me to upgrade from Lion, is just Lion with messaging services. I already have an iPhone 4s, I don't need more messaging apps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

protocol7 543 Posted February 16, 2012 what happens when apple reaches v11? you think it's going to be a ground-up redesign? i mean, OS X has been around forever now... All i do know is it looks like they're already running out of names. Leopard -> Snow Leopard, Lion -> Mountain Lion. Although considering that Puma, Panther and Mountain Lion are essentially the same cat, they'll have to call 10.9 OS X Cougar. Rawwwr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
