meamog Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I'd love to see some Leopard action, but will settle for whatever they want to throw our way tomorrow. I just love hearing about new things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Neo Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 wander what the system reqirements for leapord will be, hope it runs on my mini Probably about the same as Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger + Intel support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon2611 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Probably about the same as Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger + Intel support. I Just hope they dont put all these cool new features in then say the mini can't do them becuase of its graphics chip or something, that would really suck I think the mini's great but i wish they had put a slightly more powerfull GPU in it.

.Neo Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 do we get the leopard disk for free? or do we have to pay for it All Mac OS X 10.x releases aren't free, so Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) won't be either. Comparable to Windows 2000 (NT 5.0), Windows XP (NT 5.1) and Windows 95, 98, ME etc. Only the 10.x.x releases, which are comparable to Windows service packs, are.

Chad Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Well I have my doubts about this. However it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Jobs tried to steal some of MS's thunder by releasing 10.5 around the same time as Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xilo Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 do we get the leopard disk for free? or do we have to pay for it They are free if you are part of their developer program :p That $100 for student developer is possibly the most worthwhile $100 I spent. I got a bigger discount on my Powerbook and have like 5 different dvds of Mac OS X. The most recent being 10.4.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it is correct that all OS X upgrades now cost us, it isn't true that all of em aren't free. OS 10.0 -> 10.1 was a free upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazzy88ss Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 @kiall,you will most like have to do a clean install of your OS X - I don't know how well a new OS X revision copes with archive and install. Has anyone done that when they upgraded from Panther (10.3) ? yea I did it, 10.3.9 to 10.4, worked perfectly. I didn't lose a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the evn show Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) One of the things which I would prefer is supporting 2 mouse buttons nativally (unless tiger already does that) System 8 did 9 years ago. These days not only do you get support for 10 button mice, you can bind all sorts of functions to them using system preferences. EDIT: As a point of interest, support for contextual menus first appeared in Mac OS 4.1 (1987?), they were accessed by click+holding the single button but they weren't terribly common until around the time of system 7 in the mid 90s.

Toastyone Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 One of the things which I would prefer is supporting 2 mouse buttons nativally (unless tiger already does that) Panther did as well..... I don't know about before that, I never had thought to try it before I got Panther :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
