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...

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.

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

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)

I know it's a long shot, but I'm praying for new iMac's. I've got my finger on the "buy" button Steve, just say the word...

Same here!

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.

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"

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.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By Legend20 · Posted

      You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Legend20 · Posted

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Windows 11 gets better widgets, new Screen Tint feature, and more in the latest build

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
