I don't think it is. The quicktime preference is missing from that build and also the bootcamp drivers. Also a few other things

Yea, the Bootcamp drivers do exist, and I think QuickTime X might just not have preferences. QuickTime X is supposed to be very simple: watch movies and simple video editing (trimming).

Which is why quicktime 7 is included in the install disc and current PRO keys still work, and that is why i also think windows will never see quicktime X, it may get the UI but nothing from under the hood

Maybe it's just something I'm doing wrong, but I installed Win7 64-bit under BootCamp 3 and I can't get bluetooth and sound to work. Bluetooth I don't really care if it works or not, but sound really stumps me. I've installed drivers multiple times and even manually downloaded the driver online, but when I restart, it still says "no driver installed".

Hopefully with time it will get figured out. ;)

Did they ever say Windows 7 was supported?

i understand that technically Vista drivers work 90% of the time for 7 wich is what we have all been using for 7 but originally only XP was supported under bootcamp,

vista came later, and most machines except for MBP's,Mac Pro's and Xserves didn't have official 64bit bootcamp driver support wether they are 64bit processors not,

so i can't immagine that apple would support 7 before its official release

I swear to God it was a footprint of 6GB less, and now it's 7. Same for Time Machine, pretty sure it was up to 50% faster, now it's up to 80% faster. :)

The rest has also been updated, I didn't remember all those statistics by heart unfortunately.

You are correct on both of those. I just noticed them too!

Ah I see, that would explain it. Thank you for correcting me, and I apologize for being wrong. =(
maybe apple stores

the installed footprint for 10a421a with all install options turned off has grown from around 6gb to around 8gb+ with 10a432, i don't remember what the smallest size you could get 10.5 down to was

With 10A432, the only extra items I installed were local printer drivers. The total install came to around 9.3 GB, which I presume is still 6+ GB smaller than what it would have taken for a Leopard installation.

10A432 with everything unchecked is 3.81GB for me. With popular printer drivers, 4.49GB.

On both my iMac and MacBook, it came out to 9.3 GB, and I have the exact same configuration as you.

Any idea why my installation is so much larger? Maybe it depends on whether you're doing a clean install or an upgrade from Leopard.

4.49GB? That'll do. That'll do nicely :).

And, for what it's worth, I'm doing a clean install- I just think everything will be that much leaner/meaner/faster/snappier :). Pumped that it's out on the 28th- I think I'll pre-order from Apple and hopefully be installing it on the day :D.

yes it is because of clean install vs upgrade, OS X installer only calculates the data size compared to what you have now even when updating apps it never calculates the total just how much more space you need than currently used

Ah, that explains it. On both machines, I did a clean install (as always, I never trust upgrades.) So that's why it's 9+ GB. I guess when doing a Leopard upgrade, you already have all the kernel and system files in place.

Just to let everyone know, I did a bit of digging and found out that the Mac Mini come with Snow Leopard Build 10A436. so it looks like 10A432 wasn't the final build.

I call fake on that. There has been numerous claims that 10a435 was the final build as well. Nothing but fakes

There is a great article over at ZDNet about it right now here it is

There has been a lot of speculation that build 10A432 was declared as the Golden Master (a.k.a. GM) of Snow Leopard. The problem is that no one seems to know for sure.

A tweet by John Reid (later deleted) states that 10A435 is GM and that it will be available on the Apple Developer Connection Web site Monday (today). According to Reid the 10A435 build has a new intro movie.

9-to-5 Mac has posted alleged SL screen shots that show it as build 10A435 ? with social media integration in Address Book to boot.

A Japanese user that appears to have received legit silk-screened Snow Leopard install media doesn?t know what build it is, although a MacRumors forum member claims that the final build is 10A436.

As of post time a new build hasn?t been posted to Apple?s ADC site (it still has 10A432), so I guess that we?ll have to wait and see.

Update - a poster on the MacNN forums notes that this type of build speculation has happened with every release of Mac OS X.

A build gets seeded that rumors say is GM. In every single case, people have brought up a newer build that is the supposed ?real GM.? In every single case the originally rumored build is the GM and not the newer build.

OS X 10.0: GM was 4K78. People swore that 4K83 would be it. Nope. In the box was 4K78.

OS X 10.1: GM was 5G64. Then 5G68 popped up in rumors. In the box was 5G64.

OS X 10.2: GM was 6C115. But rumors spoke of a ?6C115b? (?b?? Really? Apple never used those little letters in official releases). In the box was 6C115. No ?b.?

OS X 10.3: GM was 7B85. Rumors had it that the 7Cxx branch was going to be GM. Nope. In the box was 7B85.

OS X 10.4: GM was 8A428. Rumors said it?s really 8A432. In the box was 8A428.

OS X 10.5: GM was 9A581. I?m not aware of a newer build that people said was the ?real? GM. In the box was 9A581

OS X 10.6: GM was 10A432. And now we have 10A435. But what?s in the box will be 10A432.

$35 CDN is a lot lower than I expected it to be. I just bought a new MacBook Pro last week, and so I have the voucher to get Snow Leopard for $13 CDN. As it turns out, that's not as much money saved as I anticipated.

Hopefully the upgrade goes smoothly. I just finished installing all of my programs, restoring all of my music, and organizing all of my documents. I don't have the patience to go through it all again with a clean install :).

i just ordered it, 39 bucks total with tax canadian, how could i not? Reading all over the web peoples experience with it so far and it seems pretty positive.

A lot of people seem to be having issues booting with the 64 bit kernel, mainly because their EFI doesn't support it.

To see if you mac will go into terminal and type in

ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi

If it says EFI64 bit you are good to go, if it says EFI32 then it's not going to work for you.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
