After watching the keynote address that Steve Jobs gave, I am seriously thinking about switching to a Mac :-). I like how they made Fast User Switching work. Let's not forget, Expos? has to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen!

:)) I agree Mac OS X and the hardware is nice. But be wary of Steve Jobs. He is the ultimate master of illusions.

is this the final version that Apple is going to release in Sep or they're still working on it?

i believe theyre still working on it...this is just the version they released to developers. im sure its close to the final though, and i too am dissapointed that there are no piles, they seemed awesome. o well, perhaps in future builds...

if you are so concerned about the benchmarks, read this:

The word from me as a Moderator is that discussing Panther is NOT against the rules as the release was released to developers legally by Apple at the WWDC, therefore it is publically known about software with legal versions in the wild (developers).

Now, the majority of people using it are indeed warez users but if they just don't say anything and don't post where they got it there is no way to determine on the boards if they got it from the Developer's Conference or not.

End of discussion about if Panther is 'permitted' to talk about here.

Steve said this would be a $130 upgrade. After having played with it for a while it's definetly worth the upgrade price.

Expos?, new finder, fixed UI consistency, iChat AV are worth it for me. If you disagree keep using Jaguar or Puma: nobody is forcing you to upgrade (unlike a certain major company that is actively pursuing perpetual licensing)

What makes it so rediculous? Compared to updates from other commerical OS vendors this isn't overpriced at all:

Windows XP Home: $199 (dual processor machine: $299 because you need pro)

Solaris 9 RTU Upgrade: $249

Outrageous is the Solaris 9 Datacenter128 RTU upgrade - it's $400,000!

Geeze people, what a difference a year makes.

A year ago when Jaguar was being developed I think it was Dazzla who was the only one who installed it and he made a nice thread with a bunch of screenshots and discussion. No warez talk, no problems. Now, a year later it's like everyone and there uncle is aksing how to get/install Panther. Of course there was probably less than 25% of the amount of Mac users we have here now. Just funny how things have changed and how many more Mac users there are.

Lets not ruin a good thread. Onto some more tidbits:

-Mail is a lot better. Very noticably faster and as Steve said during the keynote it renders html very well. Message threading is very useful, almost like having your own personal forum making it very easy to follow important emails.

-On a GUI note, Quicktime is updated to have the recessed widgets and the new buttons like iTunes has. Another +1 on the road for consistency. Of couse the Finder is like -10 but there are more and more apps brushed metal these days and an aqua app is becoming the minority. Also, the login screen is different, basically no aqua as you can see in iCe's first few pics. I really like the look.

-I know many of use rarely do a shut down or restart, but this morning I restarted and I had planned on going to the bathroom in the mean time but it had already reached the login screen before I had left the room.

Anyone tried Command + Tab? ... it no longer Cycles through the Dock ....

but gives you this ...

You're having a strange conversation in the background there. :blink:

You don't know how much I missed that functionality when I was on my Mac :cry: So cool.

The Panther UI is looking so damn impressive, and for those who remember last year like Gator, the Jaguar UI wasn't finalised until extremely late on in the betas.

How cool?

The pinstripes are so much more refined and subtle, I'm loving it too much :cry:

Those were the days...

Another interesting post, come no guys, those "DEVELOPER'S" who got their "Free" copies should be showing everyone WHY we need 2 upgrade from JagWire (or XP, Dazzla :p)

Here's something else! .. Maybe we should start a new thread... so we can track down, as MANY new Features as poss?! :p

    • I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
