Mac OS X 'Leopard'-related Discussion

[crazzyyfool]

but what else could it be? really leopard? at lest the date of shipping? doubt it... we will see.

Leopard announcement and ship date confirmed. Plus pre-ordering from the Stores. Maybe some MB and Mac mini announcements too.

[instant.human]

I'm ordering Leopard at this moment :D

115 CAD with Education rebate. A little more expensive than Tiger with the same rebate... but it's still 12%.

Edit : What happened to the anti-phishing filter on Safari? It seemed to work well in older builds... and it's not listed as a new feature now...

[sundayx Veteran]

I am so desperate for a MacBook update.

[Digitalx]

good to see it coming along, if only could give it a whirl myself. can't say i'm a fan of the bending text of the dock but that's about only gripe i'd have with it at all if any that i've seen from screen shots.

[hotdog666al]

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah !!!!!!

For those wondering what all the features are about go here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/300.html

I want to buy it. But I'm flat broke right now and really debating keeping my iMac. Sigh. :(

As long as those "friends" are in your family that is. ;)

i just bought a MBP back in august and this might be a n00b question. but do you think when I install Leopard I need to do a clean install and delete everything I currently have or do you think it's possible where it just gets upgraded? cuz I really have alot of stuff on my MBP and dont have a spare drive to store all these things. thanks.

Ah, that infamous pre-Apple-release excitement is starting to set in. :D

Based on what I've seen on Apple's site, my initial impressions of Leopard are:

• Strange that Address Book can synchronise with Yahoo but not Google (Gmail)
  
• Automator finally seems to have some decent purpose - a lack of developer support really crippled it in Tiger
  
• It's a real shame Apple weren't able to implement full NTFS support for Boot Camp
  
• I'm disappointed that Dashboard is more or less the same
  
• I'm still not a fan of the new UI - it's an improvement, but seems too much like Aqua 1.5
  
• Stacks are going to relieve me of a great deal of claustrophobia-related stress
  
• Japanese-English support in Dictionary is neat
  
• I really like the new additions in DVD Player
  
• They finally FFTF!!
  
• Front Row has (yet another) new icon
  
• Lack of YouTube support in Front Row seems odd
  
• I'm so happy Apple updated Front Row's overweight UI
  
• Mail 3 is a great update but I still don't see why it needs RSS
  
• Preview has gained some basic editing functionality... nice!
  
• I hope the changes to Leopard's printing features make it easier to connect to my Vista-shared printer
  
• What happened to Mail and Safari's anti-phishing features?!
  
• Spaces seems more and more practical and useful each time I think about it
  
• TextEdit has gained autosave... why hasn't Pages?!
  

Oh, and Apple hire brilliant web designers.

Overall, I'm really impressed. :) Too bad I'm broke.

They live in the same household as me, not managed to convert other family yet. But soon!

Something listed as a feature gave me a chuckle. Funny for a Leopard "feature". :D
