According to MacRumors Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard build 10A432 reached GM status! Can't wait to see if it's true. :woot:

This is the build that was released a couple of weeks ago, right?

I also had thought that 10A432 was the latest build... strange!

Oh well, can't wait to see what's been fixed and everything, but the last build I tried was pretty damn stable!

For me, Snow Leopard goes like this :

I had about 100 things I didn't like about Leopard.

I have about 20 things left in Snow Leopard that I don't like.

These are small things of course, but still :)

So the update for $10 will be very nice for me!

Yeah, I just tried it, but it says 64 bit kernel incompatibility. Maybe your SL isn't running in 64 bit?

The release notes for Fusion 2.0.5 mention the following:

# Provides experimental support for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Server as a guest operating system (32-bit only)

# Provides experimental support for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard as a host operating system (32-bit only)

Same goes for the private beta version.

I do hope Fusion will have some (beta) version that is 64 bit compatible because it will be most likely that Snow Leopard machines will be running in 64 bit mode.

Can't wait to get this in my hands! Wish the preorders were available in Canada, though :(

Although I've gotta say, there's not the high level of excitement that I had for Leopard. That was a big OS update... this isn't so much. But tSL also only costs $29...

I just hope Apple really has something up their sleeve for 10.7. I'll probably get a higher level of excitement when I get the final list of new features on my screen, but right now I'm just not that excited.

Does it mean everyone testing Snow Leopard that gave feedback in the last few pages of this thread now have access to the Golden Master of Snow Leopard through Software Update?

I'm asking because I'm upgrading my MacBook, so it's being sold and I had to format the whole thing and reinstall a stable version of OS X along with a few apps. So no more Snow Leopard for me.

I don't dislike them, but they need to be modernized a bit. Give them a fresh look. I mean we have been stuck with basically the same damn things for ages now. Since day one I replaced them with Aqua Extreme, which looks much more polished.

It used to be a whole theme on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and below intended as a fix for everything Apple did "wrong" with Aqua. However on Leopard I only applied the scroll and progress bars. I haven't changed the title bar (Close/Minimize/Zoom) widgets. So the ones you're seeing in the screen shots are the system's defaults.

Am I the only one that likes the little aqua bits? :laugh:

Count me in too. While they might be dated it is nice to see them. They add some flavor to the gui and definitely stand out.

Btw, anyone else see one of the Adobe dev blogs. CS5 will drop PPC support, drop Carbon for Cocoa and go 64 bit native. mmm after seeing what Apple did when they did the same things I'm dying to see what CS5 will bring. I'm very anxious for it now.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
