Mac OS X 'Leopard'-related Discussion

[.kvn]

cough cough ...Mac OSX Leopard related discussion... cough cough

;)

I'm loving the .Mac tie in with Back to my Mac. It actually makes .Mac even better.

[instant.human]

yea right... really necessary to have yet another topic about that? ;)

pretty much sucks to always look at 2 topics. ;)

plus after all the years and posts and pages i think the original leopard-topic deserves to be the official one, even after the release. ;)

It seems the Front Row icon has changed. I like the new one.

[mattrobs]

No resolution independence. Oh well.

On the 26th, I have only one thing to say.

Leopard server's wallpaper looks LIGHTYEARS better than the client one.

Indeed, much sexier.

Radish?

I can upload a high res screen of the Server wallpaper as soon as we get Server in at work. Lots of people are saying it should all be there on the 26th or sooner. I really hope so!

Are you sure they aren't just using the armchair icon for the Leopard web page?

I'm not sure, but I do hope they use the chair icon. It looks nicer and would work well with the 3D Dock.

I'm looking forward to Think Secret's image gallery. Should clear up a few of my questions, the biggest one being the final fate of Leopard scroll bars.

Anyone here who has a Mac that didn't make the Minimum specifications? (Curious if we still have any < 800MHz G4 or < 512MB RAM users)

[hotdog666al]

^ I've got 2 Systems that are just either 988 or something to 1Ghz. Just scrape the minimum!

I really want the Leopard Server wallpaper, the blue one.

i don't know if this has been discussed, but i am not about to comb through 70 pages to find it... that's just crazy.

i was wondering if it's fine (as in performance and problems) to just do an upgrade instead of fresh install. if used as an upgrade, what are the downside to it?

rather curious because i would rather not deal with the whole backing up hdd, etc to update the OS.

Firstly. BACKUP. If you don't and the upgrade gets botched you might be left with an unbootable system. Once backed up. Do an Archive and Install OR make a bootable backup to an external drive. Install Leopard on your internal drive erasing it in the process then when in Leopard using the Migration Assistant to transfer over your information from your backup.

Do the Adobe CS3 apps work with Leopard?

I have an 800MHz G4 iBook, It's in my moms possession now. Even if the installer gets modified to allow installing on less than 866MHz machines, 10.4.11 will be it's last OS.

[SnowRanger13]

They work but are known to have some problems. PM me reminding me and I'll test them for you, probably on the 26th unless I get it later.

I forget... Did Adobe say they would patch it or did they say we'll fix it in CS4?

I'd have to agree with that comment. Apple's current shots still show the Finder with the Aqua scrollbars, which doesn't exactly bode well....but we'll see I guess.

[FOOOD]

The Server version of the space wallpaper looks much better in blue. I didn't like the purple version but think that one looks pretty good.

a friend has an old ibook g4 that i am going to put it on, i wanna see how it runs on that. had 512 ram too

Same here through MSDNAA. (though it's not limited to CS majors, just students taking a CS course)

Sad thing is, I don't dare touch either of the software. :x

yeah we get access to that at school. It's great what you get for free :)

Does anybody know if there is a minus to buying the family pack? Me and the roomates all use macs and figure it would be cheaper to just buy the family pack rather than each of us getting a single user
