Won't any MacIntel box use OpenFirmware as current PPC Macs do ? and not BIOS. Presumably this is how Apple will stop x86 OS X being ripped off and run in any old x86 box.
-
If you read this you would assume Apple has already made its mind up - though it probably wouldn't make much of a dent in the cash.

Sure it will run fine. Unlike Windows ( which seems to need whomping hardware updates with each iteration) - each release of OS X just keeps getting faster and faster.

Has anybody looked at this ? " target="_blank">Linpack benchmark a Java benchmarking applet. My experience developing with Java (Eclipse) correlates well with the benchmarks reported. Java on a G4 is pretty slow on anything under a …

My 15" AlBook is easily the classiest looking portable around. Where does the comment about shine come from ? The aluminium is matt ? The whole thing feels incredibly solid. TiBooks were flimsy in comparison; the keyboards had the same design as …

Except Eclipse won't run with it ( if you use Eclipse that is).

have to agree with millhouse - 7B21 is way buggier than 7A*. Apple clearly spent lots of time rounding off 7A21 for WWDC and did a v good job. 7B21 is more experimental I think ( there were good builds and bad builds of jag too). Roll on the next…

no, that didn't generate a script. It only seems that window operations generate anything.

Forgot to mention, the overall feel is much more mac OS9 like, from the labels to the menus, to the keyboard shortcuts .. This must finally be the release that wins over all those OS9 die-hards.

panther FLIES !! no doubt about it. Runing on my G4 867 with 1gb and its like using a new machine. Also much faster without QuartzExtreme ( tried on G4 450/640Mb RAM) but screen is not as snappy. From my own perspective, the biggest difference…

forgot to add, did hardware test with supplied CD and all was fine...

whoops, wrong forum. mods could you move to Current Hardware? tx

yeah. Though I do think m$ did a good job of putting just enough of a different look on XP to sway some (gullible) users away from a Mac. And they seem to be trying to push it more in a consumer direction too. My mother has a PC and she has not…

I'm running Netbeans 3.4 under 10.2.1 on my 867Mhz Quicksilver and there is NOTHING slow about Java on this machine. I regularly use a 1.5GHz Dell machine running W2K and JDK 1.4 and the speeds are comparable. I would be nice to know where 1.4…

I remember using minimize in place in earlier releases of Jag and it worked fine. Can't help thinking Apple decided they'd put enough goodies into 10.2 and they were going to keep some back for future releases.

I have successfully used the VPN features to tunnel in to networks using MS ISA server as firewall. It all works very smoothly and allows connections to be made to SMB servers etc running inside the firewall. Not sure what happens with Cisco stuf…

Just adding to the general chorus that 10.2 is definitely faster. I notice the difference both on my 466MHz Sawtooth and 876MHz Quicksilver. With QuartExtreme, things are very snappy indeed. I use my macs for Java development and Java ( even with…

The Font Smoothing Style option in Jag 6C73+ is great. Using my Mac with a CRT, OS X looked great but on the SGI flatpanel at home, the AA was just too blurry and no amount of messing with the contrast/brightness made any difference. Now all you …

I've just been trying Netbeans 3.3.2 on Jaguar 6C48 and it's very encouraging. As we say in the UK, "it goes like **** of a shovel"; quite possibly as fast as the same version of Netbeans running on Win32 with JDK 1.4. Netbeans on 10.0.x was pr…

I did notice after installing Java 1.3.1 Update 1 that several applications starting faulting. The worst problem is windows with no content - really annoying. Speed did improve hugely though with the update. You win some, you lose some ...
