OS X Leopard

[adsl3g]

It's October, where's Leopard??

Nothing on Apple's site yet.

Hoping they'll at least manage to get it out sometime in October but AFAIK they're still seeding updates to the beta.

how is the beta? im also looking forward to the final release. bit bored with my 10.4.10 already.

 

[bwana]

I have no idea - I'm not willing to spend that much money to be an Apple Developer. I'm actually happy with 10.4.10 and will probably only roll out 10.5 on my secondary machines initially.

 

[rvanwyk]

yeah, nah im happy with 10.4.10 as well. just looking forward to something different and new. hehehhehe. VPC is giving my shyte though. dock crashes when starting and closing xp image. but reopens again so no biggy i suppose

Are you using Microsoft's VPC software?

VPC - I take it you're running on a PPC? Parallels or VM Ware are going to rock your world if you ever switch to an intel model.

I'm also looking forward to the additional functionality and all the new iCandy in 10.5

Hopefully by my upgrade time they will ship the MBPs with Leopard

Nah - No need for one as I have a mac mini.

VMWare Fusion and Parallels only run on intels. But, IIRC vmware does have another product for the PPCs

lucky you. actually, ive never thought of using mac mini as entertainment centre. hmmm... i have airtunes though. works great when having ppl over for a braai or whatever. not too bad response times either.

hmmmmm, will have a look around. thanks

IIIRC the speed difference is because Virtual PC is an emulator while ||'s and VMWare are virtual machines.

I also have Airtunes for my set of AirPort Expresses - the Mini is great because its a proper second computer for the living room - the missus also boots into bootcamp to play her games (CSI Hard Evidence atm)
