Apple Officially Announces Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

[zim]

Okay... I read up to post 21 and saw no mention of this so I will post, sorry if it is a repeat... Amazon is offering 10.5 for $109.00, which beats edu and regular pricing

Anyday.

Uhm, he/she was thanking me!

Just Missed It...

My bday is on the 23rd! I guess I'll just have to wait a few days longer to get a new MacBook

Yes, that has been the case for some time now...

I think that I've seen some screenshots of Leopard with grass desktops. Although, if Leopard doesn't come with grass, I'm sure some fan will post up all of the old desktop pics.

EDIT: If you were making a poke at Windows, then that's good. I thought that you were talking about the ladybug on the grass.

Grass will still be a desktop that it comes with it, but the space one will be the default.

I like the move to space, but the default pink one isn't very nice IMO...

She was, and thanks again I only need one license since my mac mini doesn't get much use. I'd rather put Leopard on my beautiful MBP

 

[Loudwater]

Steve, PLEASE let me know when the new MacBook is coming...PLEASE!

i like the move also. the pink one isn't too bad. so there is more space ones?

Background

Does anyone have/know where I can find the space background in the new screenshots? I know Leopard comes out in 10 days, but I want that background until then!

 

[Loudwater]

Also... I realized Apple adjust the Leopard price for Canadian stores according to the current exchange rate. Hopefully when the new MacBook comes out in November, it'll reflect the same thing. The current MB prices are still the old ones which are $100-$200 higher than the US prices. Just a wish... =)

I used my iPhone rebate on a pre-order. I guess I will be installing on ground zero after all.

Will Leopard overwrite the old operating system?

Will Leopard overwrite the old operating system?

Yes.

 

[ingenious]

And where's this "Complete Package" thing they promised with IR receivers, Front Row (in Leopard), and iSights?

 

[reckless_0001]

Will Leopard overwrite the old operating system?

Not if you choose "Archive and Install" option. It will rename the existing system folder and install a brand new one.

Not if you choose "Archive and Install" option. It will rename the existing system folder and install a brand new one.

So in other words, I'll have to choose the "Erase and Install" option?

I'm 85% okay with that.

You can always upgrade.

Sorry for the n00b question, but after Leopard is released, do all new Macs come with Leopard and iLife '08?

That's the way it's been in the past. SO my guess is yes.

I'm pretty sure, but not 100%. When you do "archive and install" it copies the system settings from the other folder. Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't remember for sure.

 

[reckless_0001]

Yeah it does, but in this case I think somethings might be reset to default. Not sure.

Yah, I think you're right. The things it resets to default are probably necessary for initial system stability and experience. Which makes sense.
