Links to support info
Could someone place a link of some sort to this article that shows the accuracy of the information therein? It's not that I don't believe what's here, I am just curious to see where it comes from. I am particularly interested in hearing about the PowerPC/x86 support that is going to be simulataneously supported in this new OS. I was under the impression that Tiger was going to be the "end-of-the-line" OS for PowerPC systems. It's very interesting to see things stating otherwise. mdjkarazim 2005-07-07 18:27:25 (UTC)

Hardware before software
New Intels coming out by June, 2006. New OS coming out by end of 2006. So the Intels are going to be running Tiger for 6 months? That doesn't seem right somehow. Although maybe it's best to stagger the transition ... a new chip AND a new OS all at once might be a bit too much ... :) --Kwnd 22:45, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
- Whether it "seems right" or not, that's evidently the plan. The developer Intel machines are already running Tiger, so it's actually more like 18 months of Tiger-x86. Tverbeek 02:22, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
- How about "They're pretty busy"? I mean, making everything but the PowerMac and XServe Intel by Leopard is widely expected, and PowerMacs may be Intel by year's end. That's 4-5 lines to redo drastically, as well as porting their other software over to Intel. Toss in the iPod based stuff, and Apple would appear to be running at top speed all year long. I don't see how Leopard could get out the door before MacWorld San Franciso 2007.
Rumours/Anticipation/Guesses
Put any ideas, rumours, or hopes about features in Leopard here. -Technomagus 10:50, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
Who else can't wait?
I have a Dell Dimension 2350, Windows XP SP2, and I'm due for a new type of system. I've been falling for a Mac system since seeing the Mac Mini. I don't have a problem with Windows security, using a Linksys NR041 hardware firewall, Mozilla Firefox, and not running random .exe's. Otherwise I'd just get a Mini right away. What I hate is the reputation of Microsoft being way too controlling, which Windows Vista looks to be even more of. I'm really looking forward to the end of 2006, and reading the reviews of the two systems. The next system I'm getting in early 2007 will be based on those :) 24.164.252.36 23:15, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
