This is not being released March 24. Unveiled at a special event with a refreshed UI and some secret stuff... very possibly. Released.... no.

I am.

Quote: We are now taking advantage of new Cocoa default behavior and underlying support. Text documents are auto-saved so changes are not lost if Xcode crashes Interesting little clue there.

Correction: actually, 4.3% are using PPC-based Macs, 2.1% are using Intel-based Macs, so majority is still well PPC-based (as one would expect). Kind of odd they choose to break it down at all, but it's interesting to see that 30% of Mac users (…

I wouldn't be too anxious. Apple's silence speaks volumes. Leopard will have its spot in the sun for sure, but iLife is a very important suite for Apple as well. In a way, they're natural companions in making a case for what's distinctive and u…

There's no single smoking gun. Just Jobs coming out at WWDC '06, saying "there's some stuff we can't show you yet" and a big "Top Secret" slide, along with a rather anemic set of announced features (save possibly Time Machine) and many, many clues,…

Pretty polished?? (chuckle) Wait 'til you see the real UI. And there is not going to be a March release.

Cute... though that says more about CompUSA than it does about Vista, though, don't you think? Just like OS X, Vista has 256x256 icons that can be scaled to any size. There's a fair amount of good UI in Vista. Keep an open mind and evaluate t…

Vista is actually not bad. I recommend giving it a try, even if you go to a horrible Comp-USA kind of environment to check it out. It's pretty nice-looking, and has a lot of good features (many of them, er, "inspired" by OS X). The breadcrumb b…

I could see iLife possibly being bundled with Leopard (now that Vista bundles it's version of iLife), and the price being bumped up to $179 or something. But I suspect iLife will be sold separately, with some goodies/enhancements for Leopard user…

The way that OS X keeps minimized windows out of your way works pretty well, I find, but one thing that's always bugged me is that's there's no handy keyboard shortcut for un-minimizing windows (and no, control-F3, arrowing around, and pressing spac…

I know. The cruelest thing about the unveiling of the iPhone was that horrible word "June." I suspect we won't see the new widescreen iPod (running OS X, mmmmm!) until summer/early fall.

The .dmg confusion hits just about every new Mac user. Personally, I think Apple needs to do a *much* better job preparing new Mac users for they work. They offer very satisfying (almost tactile!) control over installing an application, but they'r…

Revealed by March 24. Released 60-90 days later. My two cents.
