Exchange support in iCal, Mail and Address Book.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

10:43 am Now demoing Exchange support. Showing how simple it is to add an Exchange account. Auto-discovery of Exchange servers, all email/folders/to-do lists are automatically populated, Spotlight immediately searches all data. Quicklook lets you preview MS Office documents through Mail, even if Office isn't installed.

10:41 am Next, Exchange. Many people have a Mac at home that they want to take to work, but Exchange support has been missing. Mail, iCal, and Address Book now all support Exchange.

Nifty :yes:

Can work within a window without closing Expose and bringing all windows back.

I like this. :)

[Reimroc]

They're doing that to confuse us lol

Another date for the conspiracists

July 17th is the default iCal date. :p

See the link I posted on Page 21. I think Engadged accidentally let slip the date / price.

July 17th is the default iCal date. :p

+1

it was always on Jul 17th before Leopard

From the @arswwdc twitter feed:

A PR was just sent out from Apple that says Snow Leopard will be available in September for $29. Not yet discussed in the keynote.

Nice price. :D Yes, yes, they get that back from hw sales, but that doesn't make the price worse. ;)

[Reimroc]

How did Engadget find that out that's weird.

[majortom1981]

For bashing microsoft a lot they did a whole section on features that work with a microsft product. Whay about coming up with a way for windows server 2008 to manage fully apple workstations? Also will snow leopard work on powerpc based macs?

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Snow Leopard will be available for all Intel Macs -- past and present. How should it be priced? Leopard was $129 and they want all Leopard users to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard will be $29 for those users.

HUGE cheer

I got two words

[crazzyyfool]

SL is Intel only.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

iPhone time!

[Reimroc]

iPhone iPhone iPhone!!!

[Sophism]

SL for 29 bucks ftw ;)

[Techno_Funky]

iPhone Time Wohooooooooooooo!!!

[KoL Veteran]

Quicktime icon looks really nice.

[Ayepecks]

I was thinking about getting a (regular) MacBook. Now that they have non-removable batteries I've officially changed my mind.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

More than 50k apps on App Store

[BajiRav]

iPhone time!

hopefully not an unending stream of boring demos before they show the new phone. :/

[PNWDweller]

Just got this snag from Macrumors live coverage.... will be nice if this is the case and I hope it wasn't mistyped:

10:47 am Family Pack available for $49. Will be released in September. A near-final developer preview available today.

10:46 am Snow Leopard will be available for all Intel Macs -- past and present. How should it be priced? Leopard was $129 and they want all Leopard users to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard will be $29 for those users.

That will make it affordable to say the least concerning an upgrade.

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

$29... SOLD! :)

[Malisk]

SL for 29 bucks ftw ;)

LOL, I was pondering whether to upgrade to it before given it's not a major upgrade feature-wise, and rather more performance wise, but it's not as much of a doubt now. Haha.

it's actually one, now get out of this thread unless you have something useful to add
