WWDC 2006

[xxdesmus]

Vista will finally be getting XP caught up (feature wise) with where OS X was with the release of 10.4. Unfortunately, 10.5 will most likely be shipping around the same time, if not sooner (given the recent announcement that Vista's ship date may be slipping AGAIN), and will take OS X to the next level.

That is so far from the truth it's not even funny. Leopard is not going to contain anything that sets itself apart from Vista. It's going to be ever so slightly ahead of Vista at best. Seriously, it is very amusing listening to these Mac people claiming how superior there OS is...it really is quite funny. I own a mac mini, I've used Tiger plenty, and I will get the preview release of Leopard. That being said, I am also a Vista beta tester and I can tell you right now that Leopard doesn't have anything planned that will blow Vista away.

Continue on with you delusions and I will continue on with my opinions and we're all good and well...

How do you know that OS X 10.5 hasn't got as many new features as Vista?

Wait and see...3.5 hours left. I bet it's amazing.

"These thing are screamers" haha

2.5 hours

Why all the talk about Vista? It's WWDC 2006, it's Apple and their new hardware and OS X. If I wanted all the great incomplete features of Vista, I would go in the Windows/Vista threads.

Lets get this back on the topic. I'm looking forward to the new things OSX will be able to do on my Mac.

A good thing to see in leopard maybe would be a type of media center like windows media center that supports live tv etc because front-row dosent ;\

again is there any links online in some-sort of windows format that stream live or somthing of the keynotes or anything ?

I hope your right, id love to get a media center via mac, but there Media center software isnt on par with windows yet IMHO for this reason alone. If i could toss a mac under my tv i wouldnt hesitate...but i need a dvr setup and Mac's do not have it yet

[Digitalx]

yea exactly i mean a mac mini being its size yet power ability would make a perfect media center if it had a media center app that would work like windows media center.

Wait wait wait, so you know what Leopard is going to offer to the table? Funny cause besides some people at Apple, us consumers know diddily squat until 2.5 hours from now. It is however reasonable to suggest that since Tiger offers a feature set comparable to Vista (spotlight, dashboard, etc etc etc) then that Leopard will offer a set of features that adds to something that is already equal to Vista. 1+3 does not equal 1 ;)

But we are slowly drifting into another flamefest over something as stupid as unreleased OSs. Lets just all discuss WWDC and its goodies that it has to offer :D

Both: +1 (Y)

Same here!

[bdsams Veteran]

i really hope apple would come up with something huge like version of DX10 for osx....hopes*

[.Neo]

DirectX is made by Microsoft, so I seriously doubt if it will ever make it to Mac OS X.

Might be a bit off topic but check this out:

VMWare Workstation is coming to Mac OS X.

ha... I created an account and was banned from MacRumors in under 2 hours. They apparently ban people for trolling when they simply don't agree with/don't voice the same Mac-loving opinion. Now that is funny. That has to be some kind of world record. ;)

As far as I know there is no official live webcast of the keynote...I could be wrong though.

Why would you join the premiere mac forum, and try to opose the general concensus unless you were trying to make trouble. It's like going into a Honda dealer, going TOYOTA's RULE!, and wondering why security booted you out...

Think about it dude.

[sn00pie]

Suspense is building, only 1.5 hours left! :/

Here's to hoping for revamped Mac Mini's! :D

[ad345zAdZ0d9_]

Does anyone know the link for a direct quicktime stream? I assume that this one will be live a viewable by the public.

Macworld = Text only

WWDC = Streamable

I'm correct, right?

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

I'll be a bit miffed if there are new Mac Mini's already.. just bought a Core Duo for myself for work no more than a month ago!

There is no live viewable quicktime stream sadly.. you have to rely on the text updates from rumour sites like MacRumors...

I'll be watching (well reading) like a hawk :D

1.5 hours to go! :D

I have a feeling the Mini's will be updated, to the next level intel chip. They haven't been updated for a little while, and Apple always seem keen to push these little units.

That's weird about the web streaming. WWDC has always historically been a streamed event. Infact Steve usually says something along the lines of "Today we have 250,000 viewers online across 80 countries"

"Mac OS X Leopard

Hasta la vista, Vista."

Eek!

I'm hoping for great things from Leopard I must say. Apple has a real chance here to catch disillusioned Windows users on the rebound.. lets hope they realised this and are really working their backsides off on making Leopard their best OS yet.

[andrewhaji]

Less than an hour and a half until the big Stevenote! Who here is excited beyond words? :D

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

I'm psyched.. just hoping my flat mate gets home so we can go and get our shopping done so I can race back here and watch the updates coming in :D

Blah, it's no big deal...

Who the heck am I kidding, I'm excited as hell
