It's not an update. It is an entire OS on a disc. You can use it for a clean installation. This is WAY better than a service pack. You WinTards don't know anything.
No, it's an update just like a Service Pack is for Windows. It's based off the same architecture as the other OS X's with a few changes in the kernel. The only major significance is it utilizing 64 bit architecture that supports up to 2 TB of memory.
I know plenty about computers, you obviously do not.
Of course it is the same architecture. Windows is always based off the same stuff. Mac OS X has way more things than that though. They have a new set of developer tools for GCD and OpenCL. Those are two major technologies.
That's like saying Windows 95 has the same architecture has Windows XP. There is nothing new to SL, just performance increases and allowing 64 bit. XP has a 32 bit and 64 bit, but you never saw people yelling that i was a new OS made by MS, just a better XP for power users.
You still don't get it. Mac OS X had 64 bit in previous versions. There are new features and integration features like Microsoft Exchange support. That comes free in Snow Leopard, where on a PC, you have to pay for that extra support.
You sure about that? Windows 7 comes with it on certain versions, and Windows 7 is an entirely NEW O/S and not a service pack that costs $29 to update to. Secondly, why would I care much for it? I get all that on my phone to begin with and hardly use it on the computer.
It's used within legal limits dumbass! You Windows users woulnd't know anything legal. Windows 7 isn't a NEW O/S. It wasn't re-written. Mac OS X Snow Leopard had re-written apps, That is NEW. Windows 7 was not a re-write. It just had new features.
Really? I don't see any evidence of it belonging to the TV show HOUSE or the media company.
I know plenty of legal, stupid. It is part of my current job. Windows 7 has not even been officially released yet and you're talking like that? That's funny, but not surprising it comes from a Mac-fan boy. W7 is totally redone and it is a new OS with new architecture, it surpasses everything on the Mac, too!
PS: I also use Fedora and Ubuntu, so I'm not exactly a fan boy. Nice try, though.
The icon video thing is real. I just installed snow leopard on Mac and when I put it in cover flow I can watch the videos while they're in icon mode instead of having to open them! =D
Not that it matters but Quicktime pro will only be bundled with snowleopard if you already have a Pro account within leopard. So if you don't it will just install Quicktime X but if you have a pro account it will install both
I stopped at "Now there is a scroll bar" are you serious? This is so stupid, snow leopard is going to be such a waste. It looks like Apple is pulling a Vista, enough said.
And I take no sides, so my opinion is a legit opinion, they added "Put back" and "Stack Scroll Bars" whoo! That is why you all are talking about how cheap it is at "$30!", looks like a rip off of leopard with small additions.
I remember hearing that it doesn't have all the features QuickTime 7 has and if you try to open a file or use something that it doesn't do, it will allow you to install QuickTime 7, side-by-side, so you can use the QuickTime 7 features that were left behind by QuickTime X.
I was a Windows user... since I was a kid, so I practically didn't know Mac at that time, but since I used iPod, then slowly looked over to LEARN TO USE A MAC, WOW, its a LIFE CHANGER! All the things that I hate in Windows, I don't have it in Mac. But to be honest, both sides has pros and cons, not to be biased, both products are good, its just the matter of which one you are choosing. However, I do recommend Windows users to try to learn to use a mac, it does make your life simpler and faster.
i have been a mac user since elementary school and it was amazing when i went from a school who had all macs no pc's to a school with pc's and i begged for a mac and finally got a imac. when school projects came around i would blow there minds they would ask me how i would do it. i told them i had to all of it manually where really it only took me 5 mins to do it on my imac
no problems, Personally i dont think anything ground breaking will come from microsoft, apple or linux. I was kind of hoping google might be working on some crazy new OS
Snow Leopard is copying Microsoft's oldest features. I mean, like for the put back feature, Windows had that since Windows 2000. And then, the idea of adding icons beside the text s old things for Windows. I'd rather stay with Windows XP or upgrade into Windows 7 instead of changing to a Mac user using this Snow Leopard OS.
What icon text thing? Besides, Windows copies many things. Like the search in the Start Menu, it's like Spotlight, Automatic wallpaper changing, Mac had that since 2000 with Mac OS X 10.0 Beta.
This is why I stick with Linux, I've onl;y had it crash once and that was because I was attempting to update the kernel =D, I just wait for OS updates now :P.
Windows 7 Taskbar is not a Dock,,, barely comparable. Its not cloning the Mac it simply improved what it already had. The quick bar, which as been in windows for a long time, as simply been combined with the taskbar itself to produce the superbar,,, its not based off the docks, and it is very useful.
A Q regarding the "Put Back" feature; what if I deleted for example a movie file from a folder named for example "DVD Movies", then I deleted the same last folder; the "DVD Movies" also! what would happen if I select the movie file from the trash I've already deleted from the "DVD Movies" folder that doesn't currently exists, then chose the "Put Back" feature, does the Finder will recreate the deleted "DVD Movies" folder to put the movie file back in it? or it would notify me what to do? or...
Yep! That is true, but I'd rather stick with Sun's VirtualBox; than to use parallels! VirtualBox is absolutely free and solid as rock, never ever hanged nor crash...
But if you noticed; I said: "... use Windows on the OS X natively...", therefor I mentioned BootCamp in that manner...
Oh no, don't misunderstand me, I'm already a mac user and have been that for years (since 1993).
I am looking forward to Snow Leopard. It's going to be great. However I have been lookind at what Windows 7 has, just to kind of compare them. Windows 7 has some cool features, but it's still Windows with the crappy explorer, and non logic C: and D: and all of the other hard to do things. But sometimes MS actually comes up with some not so bad ideas. And I see that Apple has used these ideas.
CodeWeavers CrossOver is a great nifty application built from the WINE (WINE Is Not an Emulator) Project. CrossOver and WINE allows *nix to run Windows applications "natively" on Linux/Mac. It results in a higher performance than running in a VM, but not all programs work. However, I love it.
I put natively within quotations as it is more like a hybrid between running natively and in a VM...
snow leopard i adding a ton of speed ups and stuff into it!
windows 7 is just a slightly changed look, touch screen compatible (multi-touch where have i heard that before??? LOL) and a completely original dock... LMAO!!!
