OS X 10.5.7 Due for Release on Friday?

[iMaggot]

I think we are going to see SL in WWDC, but I don't think it's going to come out till Sep-Oct.

 

[Santabean2000]

you guinea pigs can go first, let the rest of us know how it goes.

Really, you that scared?

Put me on the first ticket!

Did anyone actually read the story? "According to a super-secret Apple source."

Can anyone verify that build 9J60 came out earlier today?

yeah. i'd love to see marble in action though

 

[Slurpy2k8]

No. I see your point, but its wrong. Apple will let Microsoft release Windows 7, then when its out, and people start reporting the thousands of bugs, and some Windows bashing reviews get their teeth into it and give it terrible reviews Apple will slam out Snow Leopard as the saviour alternative, like the second coming of Christ, and eveyone will be like, hey Windows is so bad lets stick with something solid like Apple and Snow Leopard.

This will also give Apple more time to perfect Snow Leopard than Microsoft and Windows.

Except that.. Windows 7 RC has been rock solid for me, and everyone else I know who's running it. Its stable, smooth, and fast. So I somehow doubt the RTM will be the horrendous product you just described.

And yes, I do think that OSX is still leaps and bounds above Windows (7 included). But Windows 7 is a significant improvement over Vista, and will get positive reviews.

 

[Morod]

But what are you patiently waiting for? Are you having issues that you know 10.5.7 will address? 10.5.6 has been rock solid.

My only issue with 10.5.6 is that TM hourly backups occasionally fail. Other than that all is good.

Me too - my TM drive is nearly full though, so the occasional failures may be down to that.

 

[MacGit]

Shed some light?

Yeah yeah, we've heard that story already...

Sorry - OT - but I just checked out your iWebsite and think it's brilliant!
How easy is it to do the background and theme of the website like that? I didn't think you could edit the iWeb templates as much as that.
Really grateful for any help etc.
Cheers

Magic 8-ball says..... rats,"ask again later" =)

Maybe we should come up with a MacRumors, aka Sarcastic, 8-ball for occasions like this

"Stop asking me the same damn question for 10 weeks in a row now!"
"I told you I don't know! I'm just a silly ball for godsake!"

ps. Why is it a "Magic" 8-ball if we just ask it again if we don't like the answer? Where exactly is the magic?

pss. I'm still rooting for Thursday 5/7 for 5.7 If it does happen...I called it!

 

[83leeds]

Can't wait for 5.7, if you have a MacBook Air, you know USB Ethernet/Internet sharing only works once then need to delete adapter and reboot to get it working again! Not great!

 

[IlluminatedSage]

well. time for blu-ray soon. at least it should be by 10.6
apple ought to be shamed by the microsoft commercials.

 

[bobbleheadbob]

Apple never rests. SL is almost here and they're still pumping out updates to Leopard.

 

[Willis]

That would break a trend, wouldn't it? 2.8;3.9;4.11;... 10.5 should end >11.

So can we predict that 10.5.7 will come out before 10.6.0, then have a final 10.5.8 release with 10.6 (or just after) as a "final" edition?

Apple haven't been doing a trend with their release numbers... it's just what has happened.

But will it have copy & paste?

What?!

 

[Morky]

Really hope this solves the freezing issues on unibody Macbook Pros.

Mine usually freezes once or twice a day during WoW, but I've had it freeze while using Photoshop, Netflix Streaming and VMWare Fusion a couple of times.

I'm positive it's a driver issue, as it's never happened to me in Vista/Bootcamp mode.

I haven't had the issue, but I'm always running the 9400M integrated graphics, not the 9600M GT.

 

[fhall1]

Actually, when I read the article earlier this afternoon, it actually said "chopping at the bit." I'm sure I wasn't the only person who wrote in letting them know they were completely off.

Isn't the correct spelling "chomping at the bit" with an "o"?

 

[japanime]

Is it the "proper" spelling or just a different spelling?

"Champing" is the proper spelling. It's now often written as "chomping at the bit," but that's due to misuse over the years.

 

[iPhoneNYC]

Yes, I've been "champing at the bit." With all the baby step updated one has to believe it's ready.

I've noticed a humorous political correlation to the Vista disaster and the introduction of Windows 7.

Vista = The Bush administration
Win7 = Obama

I agree. Since Vista and Win7 are essentially the same thing, except Win7 has had better marketing. Very insightful. +1.

 

[vvebsta]

I have a feeling this will mean snow leopard will come with a "coming late 2010" tag on it= MASSIVE FAIL

 

[bmcgrath]

Does anyone know if this update provides new nvidia drivers for the 8600m gt?

 

[DELLsFan]

...I've noticed a humorous political correlation to the Vista disaster and the introduction of Windows 7.

Need I say more? ...

Oh, I wish you hadn't said even that much, friend. I am having difficulty resisting the urge to extend your quaint analogy further...

...something along the lines of how much I'll enjoy Windows machines in the short term - an OS bought and paid for not by me ... but by my children and grandchildren that will ultimately blue screen and crash / fail with no warranty to repair them in the long term.

Tiger tiger burning bright

At the production house I work at we're still using 10.4.11. They have the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" philosophy, and our blackmagic interfaces are picky picky picky. Anyone still on Tiger? Other than all the window dressing, are there significant performance increases in Leopard running FCS2 and C4D?

 

[IT-Pro]

You're right. According to World of Apple developers were provided with build 9J60 on Tuesday evening/night. It only lists one single bugfix this time.

for the life of me, i can never understand how many bluetooth-related issues you can possibly have. It either works, or it doesn't. With every update, you have your bluetooth fixes.
