I would buy it today if i could Download it and burn it. Granted I do not have DL media so you may need to spread it accross 2 DVDs god forbid, but I would pay the full price to download it and burn it. We live in an immediate gratification culture. This would also be an extremely green move. I think even M$ allows you to download vista to some extent, perhaps just upgrades, but still downloads none-the-less.]]>Oct 26th 2007 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/
1. Does Leopard have a Install key? I bought the family version becase I have 2 macs but, if there is no install key then I will just cancel and use the same copy of leopard on both macs

2. Can you use 1 external HD for Time machine backups on 2 machines? Or do I need seperate external HDs?]]>Oct 26th 2007 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/Oct 26th 2007 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/Oct 26th 2007 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/Oct 26th 2007 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/

I know you can run a Windows clone on a Mac, which I thought I might try just to see if Macs are what they're talked up to be. How about running a virtual version of Leopard on Windows?]]>Oct 26th 2007 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/

I for one could care less what Engadget covers and how much of it as long as they cover other stuff along with the new Apple OS. It's kind of like the Harry Potter phenomenon of the OS world.

It doesn't bother me at all. Plus, I'm looking forward to buying a MacBook Pro next month. I sold my Dell Precision M90 with 4Gb of ram last month to a family member. It was a $3,500.00 machine only about a year old that I had bought brand new from Dell direct, but I let it go for half of what I paid for it because Leopard just looks like a lot of fun where all of the regular Windows PC's I've owned weren't since I don't like playing games. I like to do things like editing and animating. ]]>Oct 26th 2007 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/Oct 26th 2007 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/Oct 26th 2007 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/Oct 26th 2007 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/Oct 26th 2007 10:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/Oct 26th 2007 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/

The MacBook Pro will not be significantly lower spec'd. It will be higher because it’s 64 bit instead of 32. Everything else inside will be equivalent or higher.

It's my understanding that you can't install the Mac OS on a PC, otherwise, I would have already tried it. The Precision M90 is a laptop workstation not a desktop. Plus, yes, I sold it for less than half of what I paid for it to a family member, so it's not like I don't have access to it should I ever need it. Which is doubful that I will. But someone needed a laptop for their work and I wanted to switch anyway.

"Umm, good job I guess?"
Thanks! You betcha. I’m looking forward to it. I haven’t owned an Apple since the IIe.

So you sold a $3,500 year old laptop for half of what you paid. So that you could turn around and spend $1,500 on a significantly lower spec'd machine simply because you thought leopard looked fun.

So in essence you're going to pay ~$3,000 for a macbook when all you had to do was install a linux distribution or install Leopard onto your now sold Precision.

Umm, good job I guess?]]>Oct 26th 2007 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/
Go ahead and run it on any old PC you find, if that'll keep you occupied, but don't expect it to give you any deep insight into the Mac experience.

It isn't that this particular unboxing picture is stupid, although it is.

But the people who created it know how stupid it is, and that's a step on the evolutionary trail.]]>Oct 26th 2007 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/Oct 26th 2007 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/Oct 26th 2007 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/apples-leopard-gets-unboxed-no-surprises-here/Oct 26th 2007 10:23AM
