better than ox x tiger?

this is the new os x, its 10.5.

NICE! I can't wait to get it

Dear Apple: Standardize on, or KILL brushed metal. The multi-widget-set-from-hell look is so Windows 9x.. actually, Windows 3.1. :(

Spaces looks greaaaat!

but WTF is this toolbar-esque thing in this snapshot:

very nice!! I want one :)

Standardise the interface I completely agree! So sloppy.
But still, brushed metal is better than the frikkin horrible eye-straining lines-from-hell
and that horrible anti-aliasing. It's better than what it was, but it's still trippy

well i think its cool

i need to get a mac :(

...I still can't believe I sold off my wonderful iMac, and got a Dell.. I still feel so lost, nearly two months later. :(

The unified look will become the standard. Check out iTunes and mail.app or the ichat screenshots from leopard.

Nope, the mixed metaphors are still there....
the system level apps, control panel, time machine, spaces etc have the grey feel, while applications have a mix of brushed metal and the system level grey - look at mail.app.... it still has the same gui as control panel et al.

That is not the mac GUI.

Don't get me wrong, I love it, but christ - the mac OS was built on consistancy and ease of use. The origal Apple Human Interface Guidelines have (quite literally) been rewritten.

..and fer chrissakes, the Finder, the absolute being of the Mac is still a carbon port. When is it *ever* going to be a native cocoa app!

looks good, its already available through p2p networks ... but didn't install it yet though!

Looking good!

Looks very clean, but can't see myself switching

This will be one of the best updates to date.
If you have not seen the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Fran August 7
http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.ne...ent/index.html

It is a must see for Mac users as well as those who are thinking of switching.
Even if you don't think you'd want a Mac, watch it, you would have to love what you see.
They also touch on Vista for you Win users
.

I think it looks pretty cool

What is the next animal? Gazelle? Warthog?

I bought the MacBook back in May and i'm kind of torn between upgrading 10.4.7 to Leopard seeing as how i'm still learning this OS plus I really don't see too many improvements that would warrant a price tag of 150 bucks.

Not sure what to do because I really don't want to pirate a copy the OS. If you haven't made the switch to OS X then you should. The only reason I need to boot into Windows (thanks to Boot Camp) is to play Rise of Nations.

That's a screenshot of Time Machine.

LOL :D, go with a Mini Core Solo and upgrade to the Core 2 Duo when they're out.

I switched less than a month ago and already sold off my PC. No need for it or Windows anymore; OS X rocks.

I'm fairly certain it's a carbon app from the ground up. Carbon is c++ compiled to binary; cocoa is a runtime compile. Guess which is faster?

Why would you do something like that?

I might have to get this for my mac mini dual-core

wow......... i hope i have mac too........

Leopard looks nice, funny how they keep naming os's after big cats

Oh dear :Oh crap

:error

Some of those screenshots are photoshops. Apple hasn't yet shown us the design of the new Finder.

I also agree that apple should get rid of the various interface styles. As a developer it's frustrating.

looks pretty good!

Those screenshots don't do it any justice. If you watch the entire keynote address it gives you a real good idea what its functionality is.

Looks to me like the Finder has been replaced (or a large part of its functions) with Spotlight a much more powerful Spotlight.

I highly recommend watching the video.

Won't be avail 'til early 2007 so you will have to wait a bit.

when do the dual core macs come out

You'll have to wait until August 2006 for those badboys.











:winkwink:

looks impressive that os
