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.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

      I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
