    It's really quite boring. A flat dark gray Apple logo against a lighter gray background, with the new rotating throbber in the center.



    I miss Happy Mac.

    I actually think is looks better. Alot cleaner looking, modern, stylish. And the cycling bar-wheel is all the above and looks cool :cool:



    The new bootscreen just "fits" better with the style of the current mac hardware... the happymac is dead. Long-lived the happy mac

    I'm all for updating the Happy Mac, but I wish it kept the personified touch of the Happy Mac instead of the corporate logo. Makes sense to show the apple logo, but the smiley face was a great little touch.

    rotating throbber :eek:



    Could someone elaborate please!



    I thought the Happy Mac was part of the firmware, rather than the OS. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

    <a href="http://www.apple.com/macosx/"; target="_blank">http://www.apple.com/macosx/</a>; - It's a large version of that throbber in the center of the countdown timer.



    Also, if you look closely, the Happy Mac in 10.x is different than the one in OS 9.x. The background is also solid gray instead of they patterned false gray.

    I think the smiling apple display from the 6c98 build was really cool... modern and personal at the same time...

    It really does look quite good when you see it on your screen though. Brad's video is a bit dark, but I couldn't have explained it better.

    I'm surprised they didn't just use a GIF.

    Are we completely sure that that will be the boot screen in the final version?



    I really hope not, its fairly dull. Even a "hello" under the Apple logo would have been better. And that new Mac face seen in earlier builds grows on you.

    One good thing about that screen is that something is moving, thus you know the computer is doing something.



    No words makes it work for any language.

    It's in 6C106, which is a very late build, so I suppose this *is* the final version.



    And it looks much better in real life than it does in Brad's video.

    That sucks.



    THe newer smiley mac was far better.





    I always tell people "oh, well MY computer SMILES at me when I turn it on"



    Now it just . . . is there.



    Being an apple.



    Ugh.

    Hhhm ...



    I think this startup is pretty much professional and fantastic.

    Somehow reminds me about the startup of a sgi....



    Nothing more attractive than that stuff ...



    (besides the price/performance ratio *G* on sgi)



    Apple just gets better and better ...



    Cheers

    I don't see why many of you are over-reacting like this. The new bootup screen really looks professional because it has been kept simple.

    So when are they going to make GelCapUI look professional to fit in with it?
