Just posted this in another thread, the retail disks are 10A432.

I have been running it for the last few days and really like the refinements they have made, the have also improved how laptops connect to wireless networks afer waking from sleep, which was one of my biggest issues with 10.5. Found a few bugs here and there but thats to be expected

Another person here saying 10A432.

We're ahead in Australia so lots of people have the retail discs/up-to-date ones already. All the same build.

I work for an Apple reseller and have been seeting up 10.6 machines since wednesday in preperation for the Launch in our stores. I have installed about 20 machines so far, all the same build, all boxed retail disks.

Anyother build numbers will be for machine specific disks (The grey ones that come with a new machine)

Never had a problem with that... ever since Panther WiFi connected right away.

Under Leopard I have seen a few times where I will open up my Macbook and it won't connect to Wifi for a while or won't even show the wireless network as being available. I closed and reopened it and it found the network right away. Rare but a bit annoying when it did happen.

That was the issue. I only had a few machines with it, but it would do it almost everytime the machine would wake up.

So guys, its confirmed that Quicktime X will not be release for Leopard and Windows? I will not be updating to SL anytime soon.

Well Quicktime X is touted as a new feature for Snow Leopard, so it's unlikely to be released for Leopard. I wonder if copying the .app over would work though?

As for Windows, well it depends whether Apple wants to compete with WMP more. Quicktime is crap on Windows and WMP12 supports .mov out of the box afaik so it might be a pointless move.

the architectures are incompatible, i just tried running quicktime player from my SL partition on my 10.5.8 OS X and it does not work.

remember that Quicktime X is not just the Quicktime Player.app, it is a core framework of the OS similar to how webkit is to Safari.

I still believe that Leopard might get some of the power and maybe the UI, Windows if anything might get only the UI and nothing more

SL being a hybrid OS is confusing for the average end user however it does make the "choice" and transition from 32bit to 64bit waaaaaaay easier.

The average user doesn't even know what the kernel is. Let alone if it's running in 32 or 64-bit;);)

One of my cousin will be upgrading to Snow Leopard and she is not much of a power user. Is the upgrade smooth in click-next-click-next-install mode? I don't have a intel Mac to try it myself. I have asked her to back up :D but just wondering?

They why does Apple need to advertise it to average user? :p

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
