First of all it's not a marketing strategy. The development version of OS-X are full of debugging messages and code that would make the user think "this is crap", just like early windows xp "whistler" versions.

Second of all, it's not leaked on the internet. It's nowhere to be found on Usenet. :whistle:

the article just says theres proof it leaked. a leak doesnt mean you or I have to be able to download it before its called a leak ;) one person is all it takes to classify something as a leak.

For all we know (hypothetical situation) the unnamed person in the article could have obtained it from his friend at apple via private means and has no intention in making it public but was able to demonstrate he had it therfore classifying it as a leak.

so fast? They have prepared the transition to intel chips for a long time, I guess that's why Tiger took that long to be developed.

They've been making Intel releases since 10.0, by the 5th release I doubt it added any development time.

It could not have been kept private. IT read "hit piracy sites" FTPs, websites, whatever. They are claiming its somewhere and all i know officaly is if it is out there wasnt by the scene.

Shawn asked me for approval and I saw no reason not to. Just remember not to discuss where or how to get this (if it is even true that it exists) as I'm sure you ALL know the rules on such things on Neowin.

proof? i haven't seen any proof of it leaking and what divertom15 said is very true, it doesn't have to be leaked onto the internet for it to be classified as a leak.

      Leave Secure Boot off, the Optiplex 7010 isn't getting a firmware update to support the changes...

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
