Then you're not going to find out about it until the OS is released.

Simon Veteran Posted September 29, 2007 Veteran Share Posted September 29, 2007 I doubt it, but it is possible. But it would be like shipping untested software. In fact, it would be shipping untested software. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/590961-big-suprise-in-leopard/#findComment-588884859 Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Kompressor Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Cure for cancer/global warming That would be the surprise of the century. anyway, it would be really cool if leopard had some nice Gui feature that we haven't seen yet...to appear. but if none of the beta testers have seen it then I doubt it's there... it would be a risk to release untested feature like that unless it's a simple thing like another theme for leopard or something.

cell tech Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 It will come with a pre-installed and configured copy of XP or Vista running in a VM or via bootcamp at no extra charge. :hmmm: Or maybe a whole subsystem capable of running Windows programs?

PyX Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 What do you want anyways... most changes are under the hood and there are already a plenty of very nice changes for the users. New finder with coverflow, new iTunes visual effects, new Front Row, new Dock, Stacks, Spaces, Safari 3, Dashboard Webclips, Unified interface, a lot of facelifts in many applications, Quick Look, Time machine, new Xcode... maybe resolution independance someday... geez, give them a chance! It's up to the app developers now to take advantage of the new leopard features... The only thing that could happen maybe is a new QuickTime, but without iTunes 8, I doubt it. Anyway, new QuickTime and iTunes will follow someday.

Nymphaluna Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I doubt it, but it is possible. But it would be like shipping untested software. In fact, it would be shipping untested software. Could they not test it within Apple instead of testing it publicly? Like, secretly or something? I dunno how the testing works, so I could be completely making an ass of myself here. :p Anyway, I hope there is something neat on it!

I don't think anyone ever leaked info or pics about iLife 08. So maybe it was just tested internally or with a highly trusted team of beta testers. So maybe there could be a secret in leopard.

sunbiz_3000 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 The big surprise could be if Apple sell Leopard without the Mac hardware... They would be rich and world could be changed...

Joswin Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Offering it as a product you can install on all x86 systems would be a massive surprise. Id buy it. But highly doubtful. :( The Apple hardware is just starting to become competative (price vs spec wise) and OSX is the only killer 'edge' they have. The designs are great too, dont get me wrong, but there are other all-in-ones around and without OSX being exclusive, I reckon people would be tempted away. We live in hope though.

sunbiz_3000 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 There are really quite good points and advantages that Apple would gain... Its really perfect business logic and perfect time for Apple to start selling OSX without the hardware.. check my blogpost and the observations I had made here a while back. If this is the surprise, then wherez the line outside Apple stores... Im gonna be there for sure!!

Im gonna be there for sure!! well it is possible Apple could be gearing up for this in the future. ... they have now incorporated third party software companies in their Apple software update... so all updates go through apple for third party software (possibly also drivers etc..) This is a feature in Leopard now...but it's still being tested apparently. It's similar to windows update signed updates. So you never know it could well be around the corner when it's open to any x86 system.

dragon2611 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 It's been said lots of times... Apple would go bankrupt if they did that. I very much doubt that, after all a lot of people are already running it on their pcs via somewhat dubious methords. They make quite a bit on ipods.etc so they'd probably not go bankrupt.
