Windows STILL, somehow, has issues from time to time. We have over 60 machines at work that are running imaging software that reload themselves after every reboot. How users manage to do that, I don’t know. I’ve also seen REALLY flaky OSX installations. I’ve seen 2 week old towers riddled with viruses and spyware/malware because of users that don’t have a clue. It all depends on how well you keep up with it and what you do on it. I had an nt4sp6a server than ran 24/7 for over 2 years before a hardware failure killed it (ran internal software, wasn’t accessible from outside the network, so I never bothered to do updates.

Like my brothers 2k pro machine that has a 7 year old installation and is running perfectly smooth (I’m typing on it now). I’ve had NT4, windows 2k, and XP systems all “self destruct”. I’ve been using NT based systems since NT4 came out.

If Apple axes PPC and early Intel Mac support with this new release, Apple is going to be a million times worse than Microsoft and Vista.

It uses a processor and motherboard from 2001 (Athlon XP 1600+ at 1400Mhz, 1.2GB of mem). The funny thing? My 2001 x86 desktop runs Vista blazing fast, thanks to a 60 USD memory upgrade. I won’t benefit from all the optimisations, even though my machine is only 4 years old. I have a 2004 PowerBook that won’t be able to run this new operating system. I’m a Mac user most of the time, but I don’t want to share in your smugness.Īnd yes, this news DOES piss Mac users off- like me.

The Mac OS will curl up in foetal position and cry in the corner at the mere thought of it. I’d love to see the Mac OS do as well as Windows when it comes to upgrades on all those different configurations out there. They’re all just less visible because, well, 90% or 5%, it’s a major difference. The major upgrades cause enough problems too.

Fact is that Carbon is not available in 64bit flavour.ĭespite Ars’ confirmation, this is still a rumour.Ī LOT of Mac users battle with OS updates just as much as Windows users do – in fact, the recent 10.5.3 update caused quite some problems for people. Instead, the release is heavily focused on performance and nailing down speed and stability.Ī possibility is that Snow Leopard will be Cocoa-only, but this is apparently not yet set in stone, and what exactly “Cocoa-only” means is up for debate. People familiar with the situation have confirmed to us that TUAW’s details are true – Snow Leopard is currently on track to come out during next January’s Macworld, and it will not contain major OS changes. Lending some credibility to the rumours, Ars’ sources confirmed TUAW’s findings. That’s going to be rough if you bought a PowerMac G5 Quad. It won’t contain any major new features, but instead it will focus on speed and stability, while also dropping support for anything but 64bit Intel machines. The Unoffical Apple Weblog had the scoop this morning, stating several sources claim Apple will supposedly show the new operating system to the public for the first time at the coming Worldwide Developers’ Conference, including a developers’ seeding. The big rumour: it’s going to be available for 64bit Intel machines only. According to several sources, it’s going to be called Snow Leopard, it won’t contain any major new features, and is planned to go gold master December 2008, available a month later.

Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard, may only be six months old, but rumours are already abound as to the next update to Apple’s operating system.
