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.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
