I love Tiger and I have a hard time getting excited about this Leopard release. It just seems like very minimal updates and not upgrades. Of course, the Apple PR machine is in full effect to get everyone believe that life cannot go on without Leopard. It just appears to me that just about everything is cosmetic. These operating systems, whether it be OS X or Vista, have reached their full maturity. It’s now about the user and content placed on the web.

Mosberg’s article about OS X Leopard might very well be accurate. I don’t doubt that Leopard is faster. But Apple isn’t creating an OS that runs on 90% of the hardware and computers out in the world. They’re creating an OS that runs on a specific set that they have full jurisdiction over.

I prefer OS X and Leopard myself personally but I think Microsoft did a good job with Vista considering how many machines/parts they had to make it compatible with. (We haven’t even mentioned the gaming shortcoming of all the Mac OS’s) Bottom line: The OS really matters very little now. They’ve both reached their maturity and it’s now all about the user and what they choose to do.

Exactly. I thought you were based in the country where everything arrives last, hence my surprise :o)

Louis: Not a huge fan of the 2D dock, actually (had seen the macosxhints post about it earlier). I’m getting used to this one and don’t see me going back now that I have. A little too reflective but hey, can’t say I mind the extra fancy.

Frederico: (Cool name, I’ll say) Some orders hit people (and stores) one day earlier. Can’t say no to an earlier start like that, and so now here we are.

17 hours to go… How did you get your hands on a licensed copy?

I advise you to try the 2D dock that's available with a few Terminal lines. It find it very cute.

ZFS support should be pretty good for Mac Pro users ;)
