Why not, if drop shadow or white-shiny is "Apple-style".

I would prefer neither side is ridiculous about minor details, but if we can't have that, at least we can put some balance in the picture. Leopard *is* trying to appear shinier than Vista.

It's another question if it was worth it.]]>Oct 16th 2007 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/16/leopard-release-october-26th/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/16/leopard-release-october-26th/http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/developer/

Also, the comment "Upgrade price? You're kidding, right... this is Apple" amazes me considering the $299 upgrade price tag on Vista Ultimate. How much lower do you expect them to go, Ryan?

I have a MacMini I use as a media center box (running VLC, not shit-assed FrontRow). I like it because it's quiet and it runs HandBrake and MacTheRipper. And it looks good on a 42" LCD @ 1920x1080. iLife '08 is okay -- I admit I like being able to send photos directly from my iPhone to the web gallery.

But I still consider the Mac to be a toy. My main box and my wife's laptop run WinXP (although each could *easily* run Vista). I hate Vista and will run XP as long as I can. I have two X360s for accessing video at other locations around the house and an Ubuntu file server that keeps the entire network happy.

I see no value added by Leopard. Seriously, I *want* to be impressed. If it's good stuff, I'll get a Mac laptop. But right now, from what I've seen, nothing stands out about MacOS to me.

What impresses you guys? Seriously, please sell me -- I really want to buy...]]>Oct 16th 2007 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/16/leopard-release-october-26th/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/16/leopard-release-october-26th/

I plan on purchasing a copy of Leopard on Friday right after work. I’ll play around with it, see the new features, but that is about it. It's not like I can download the NEW Unreal Tournament 3 demo and try it out on any MAC OS! Very little gaming on it, most apps are still on Windows, I still feel like I am lockdown with solely Apple apps/instead of a wide Varity of other applications like the Windows counterpart. With all of the iHype surrounding Apple hardware/software I think people are happy to make ANY type of Apple purchase. I have been using a MAC at my home for the last 4 years with very little PC interaction (except for gaming, or some other app/function I need). MAC OS X is very pretty and something different to work on. If Microsoft came out with a completely different UI built from the ground up, you might see a lot of Microsoft hype flying around the internet with very little marketing from Microsoft.

I remember reading awhile ago that Microsoft wanted to release an OS every 1.5 years and I said to myself… dam that is a lot of reading I have to do, to much research to keep up with! At least that is what I was thinking in the corporate work field supporting users, not playing around with your “Personal Computer” at home. Apple’s real NeXT OS will be OS 11; these are just upgrades, tweaks to the OS or more iCandy, nothing really major to claim that it is the NeXT Gen OS.

Something for all of us to go out and say, HELL YEA I GOT THE NEW OS!]]>Oct 16th 2007 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/16/leopard-release-october-26th/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/16/leopard-release-october-26th/
We know Tiger represented the final version of the original vision of OSX, it took some time to get there.

Leopard is here to show us where Apple wants to bring the Mac. I have some Mac using friends which are worried of the new flashy graphics, and the time machine abstraction. Some other ones like it. I want to see, can Apple deliver innovation that people can make practical use of, or, like Microsoft, it'll stumble at some point in time.

As for Vista, as a Windows developer, I was wholesale excited for Vista (then Longhorn) for 5 full years. ... And then they released it, and demonstrated the interface issues, glitches and performance issues were not due to the beta status of the code, but it's simply how Vista looks. I'm no longer excited, not until they fix it in a big way.]]>Oct 16th 2007 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/16/leopard-release-october-26th/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/16/leopard-release-october-26th/
