    No new features should be expected, just a leaner and faster OS X. Out this time next year...

    nah :)
    just got somewhat pissed off today at humanity in general :) and steve got what's his "by the way" so to speak...
    i just watched his keynote and got more and more pissed at his same old spiel and tricks.

    maybe that's because my mbpro was acting again today all fucking day...
    it's all the small things put together, you know? :)

    Yeah, the name's pretty bad. The branding looks so similar, too. How many people will wonder if they already bought this?

    Branding is designed to stop people expecting a step change...

    Makes sense really! and leaves steve alone, without him we would still be stuck on a PPC chip running OS9.999!!!!

    True, but you run the risk of confusing people who aren't huge Mac users.

    Here's the page for Server, too - looks neat. Check out the Remote Access section, AFP548 mentioned it could be similar to MobileMe. ;)

    actually, it's not official as no where does apple say 10.6. For all we know it's 10.5.5 or 10.5.9 then 10.6 can be feature-rich.

    Wait and see. I think as time progresses, marketing will be more clear.

    As in "64 bit, mothafucka!"

    somehow, stuck in my head is the idea that traditionally, the OS isn't solid until version __.6.1

    ;) also, traditionally, the OS isn't solid until my computer is almost too out of date to run it. *nod*

    Intel Core Duo sounded so cool, too.

    There's always the chance that they'll add PowerPC support back in, at the last minute.

    i drive 'em until they drop, flak.

    heh.. i prolly have more retired macs than blueshead. i'm cruel, though. i put them back to work. (a hobby is combining the working bits of older comps and making solid low-use machines for elders to use for email and chat.)


    i think "Snow Leopard" is a terrible name. they're running out of beautiful big cats. 10.7 will probably be the Serval.

    ;) or the Oncila

    Naw, I hear ya there. I just resurrected an old Blue and White G3 solely to hold old hard drives (and data that I don't need immediate access to).

    It's fun to take all of those spare parts and build something working out of them. :D

    I thank Steve for giving me these sweet computers to make my living off of. I prob wouldn't be so dedicated to my job if I had to spend my time on a piece of shit windows box.
