Mik 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2007 Man - I can't wait. I got my departmental funds to purchase a new computer today but I'm (im)patiently waiting for new MacBook Pros (which may or may not actually be new) to ship w/ Leopard hopefully first week of April. They will also have the new iLife '07 and iWork '07 installed, apparently. I'm kind of an impulse shopper, so waiting for a new $2500 laptop is not proving to be easy for me. All indication are that leopard will be released end of March. Discuss any rumors, etc that you hear in here if you want to. The only thing I heard is that they are scrapping Aqua as the color scheme and going with something that has black tones. Calling it illuminous. I also heard the new finder will be all spotlight based. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2007 I honestly should know a little bit more, considering I'll be troubleshooting the damn OS. Sadly, I'll get trained on it about a week after it actually comes out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted March 19, 2007 I tried it at my friend's house and it's like half of OSX and half of Vista mixed together. Basically, it's still a fuckin Mac and it sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Urban Warfare 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2007 According to most rumor sites, it looks like we'll be looking at a mid-June release for Leopard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2007 Leopard has been delayed until October. (Perhaps not) coincidentally, it appears folks have figured out ways to run Mac OS X Tiger on PCs, apparently from reverse-engineering the Intel Mac builds. http://www.google.com/search?client=firefo...G=Google+Search Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mik 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2007 Eh, it's only $129. You're better off getting 4-5 months out of your new computer and then dropping the money on Leopard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mik 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 I can get this for free through my campus store using a department charge. I called today and they expect them the first week of November, which is I think the earliest anyone is going to see it since they don't ship until 10/26.

Ripper 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 I don't get it. Are the features in this alot better than the Mac OS right now? Because looking over the specs and all, it just looks like Mac Vista....really pretty but not really doing anything that impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mik 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 There actually are a lot of significant upgrades. Spaces is good for partitioning your desktop if you are working on a lot of different projects at once. Time Machine automatically archives your system and saves it so you can recover deleted files years later. There are a lot of other smaller bells and whistles. I, personally, am really looking forward to stacks because I hate clutter. It's not a complete new OS, just another variation of OSX, so the additions will be small but I really like some of the things they added. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted October 16, 2007 Spaces=Virtual Desktops, and Time Machine=Windows Restore. My comment earlier in this thread was indeed a bite on Mole's (incredibly ignorant and uninformed) opinion/comment in the Vista thread, however it's not that far off from the truth. It really isn't that much to get excited about. Still just some crappy, underpowered, simplified, overpriced OS with a hella good video editing program.
