What the hell? Is he constantly dropping things while filming? And he claims to be using a new quad core 2 duo? Hah!

Is it just me or are there two fonts within the same field on the About This Mac window, the 2 in DDR2 RAM looks totally different as does the lettering in the Version details, they aren't centred.

Very jerky and crappy looking too, seems like nobody with any access to 10.5 has a decent camera.

The text that says dual core whatever is obviously photoshopped because it's a different font. Also, the about window didn't have a shadow, another dead giveaway. Totally fake.

this is what almost deems all of these videos fake right away, can't they at least give us better quality so we at least believe them that it's "real" ?

*EDIT* Also, if Apple have windows apps running natively..what barrier is drawn between Mac and Windows?

[Chrispy]

Looked more like he was running the vista beta to me than running any type of a mac OS.

now that you mention it, that could be a good explanation...his desktop could just be set to a screenshot of tiger with itunes open...running some windows apps over the top of it with the taskbar hidden at the bottom.

[Killyp]

That's definitely a Vista beta. I have seen vista with my own three eyes and that is CERTAINLY Vista...

[quagmire]

When did the folders turn beige? And when did the buttons move to the top right corner of the window? FAKE!

[tombarnes]

Looks like that could be a skinned Windows XP/Vista to me. I don't believe it. I think it's fake.

Surely running windows natively in a OS X environment opens OS X upto windows viruses and other security threats. Apple will never make windows run natively in the OS X environment themselves, that is the whole point of bootcamp! Everyone has seen bootcamp, why would they release a beta, when they are planning an entirely new implementation of such an idea! Bootcamp runs windows separate to OS X, not natively, which is a whole new kettle of fish!

It's totally Vista with an OS X Theme. It's not Leopard.

Why would one open the cmd prompt natively in OS X, and why (oh why) would it list as C:\>?

[Obsidian6]

Agreed. Definitely Vista. ive seen it running on a co-worker's laptop. The entire time he was showing me all the cool "new" features of vista i was showing him the mac version thats been out for a while now :) gave me a good laugh.


Something to ponder though - Maybe people give us crappy videos:

a) to throw us off and make us think we're seeing something were not supposed to see
or
b) because they are trying to be conspicuous about filming a prototype product when they know they can't legally release said information.

just a thought.

It robs all the fun for the originator to not be here telling his inevitable "I know a guy" story.... :rolleyes: :(
