interesting that Windows 7 went RTM (Release to Manufacturing), which I think is the equivalent of Apple's Gold Master, two days ago, yet will be released a month after Snow Leopard (which isn't Gold Master yet). goes to show that doing everything in-house (hardware + software) allows you to get products to market faster. Microsoft has to share Windows 7 with many third parties first...
They also have a mind boggling number of languages to write for and test. Give them credit where credit is due.
Someone please post pics of the UI tweaks if there are any!
Because it's the only UI tweak revealed so far.
The BIGGEST disappointment for me with Snow Leopard is the lack of Blu-ray playback support. I have nearly 200 Blu-ray movies and can't watch a single one on my Macs, even with an external USB Blu-ray player. Yet Windows has been able to play Blu for quite a while, even on Boot Camp on my Macs. I'm willing to pay the extra couple dollars they tack on to the price of the OS for this support.
I also experienced much freezing and glitching in the last build, especially with Safari. I am happy to report (after losing a few dozen open windows this morning due to a freeze) that this build has been much more stable for me. No freezing or in safari so far at all.
Hmm, so does this mean it's possible that my 1st gen 13" Unibody Macbook won't support it? Is there a way to check? I was able to install a 64bit version of Windows 7 in bootcamp if that means anything...
A question to all of the folks using SL, do videos still play when they're minimized into the dock? It was one of my favorite features in Tiger, and I was kinda disappointed when it was taken out in Leopard, anyone know if it's back?
[edit: removed per request]
i thinks its a really sweet feature!
minimized windows show below the "line" and open windows show above it.
Not everything in Mac OS X is actually written by Apple employees, either. (iCal at one point was developed by a third-party French corporation, and the bulk of Mac OS X was from NeXTstep, Steve Jobs's post-Apple OS from the early 90s.)Yeah but not all of it is written by them; take Maori support, that was written mainly by the Maori language part of the New Zealand government. You find that not everything in Windows is actually written by Microsoft employees.
It's a nice evolution of Expose, but it debuted about three builds ago.[edit: removed per request]

Any one try running GeekBench? My score has gone up to 4229 ...

Does the wireless indicator work fine in this seed? I know last seed has this problem where it would say "not connected" while there was a connection. It would happen particularly after returning from sleep.
You got a link to download that icon? I'm using a similar one for Movist but I like this one a lot more.
When will September come.........?![]()
Blame nozebleed for that. It's going at 400KBps for me. It started at 1MBps.
Just thought ill share a list i made in my head. dont know if there 100 % right, so please tell me if there not.
its kinda cool to see what apple still has to do. Snow Leopard is really only part 2 out of 3 in some ways. "Leopard being part 1"

OMG! I got so excited about this update! Sort of when a "one more thing" happens. I think it's because of shipping charges or DVD material charges. I know, I know that 10 bucks seem expensive but as the guy above, it's Apple. Anyway, it's not THAT expensive. Just my 0.02 cents.
