Haha. Windows... Eh. I'm wondering what Apple is going to do about the dock looking weird on the sides of the screen. That really bugs me, though I don't even put my dock anywhere but the bottom of the screen.
I'm happy to report something I shouldn't but it's so friggin fantastic I can't hold out..Apple...Sue me!!
You ready?
Better sit down..........
They fixed the date on the iCal icon to reflect the actual date..

This is a RC..The GM (M67 or M69)has been done.Developers should see it wihin 2 weeks and announcement and/or timer on Apple's homepage on or before Oct. 5th.
On shelves 10/18
just a guess mind you.
I'll have to agree with you
*cough* new startup audio *cough*
Hmm I'm going to assume Apple did it in more advanced way than just having 365 icons?
For some reason people don't register that over 4,000 paying developers show up at WWDC and many more pay for Select accounts that don't show up and still develop products.
There are enough people banging on the code but that seems to be overlooked by most consumers.
There comes a point when too many cooks spoil the soup.
Seeds
I have to say, I am very much more impressed with what I'm seeing than 9A527. Seriously. I'm having fun, last seed was pretty hard on my patience.

Ehm, no, it didn't break it... Not for me anyway...
Not on Any of my machines running 10.4.10 (around 5)
Great news. This was a pathetic design flaw.
I just wish Apple would fix the other 10 idiotic problems with iCal. Since 10.3, we've been waiting for some basic functionality to be added.
But with Apple, it's a game of inches. At least iCal has fixed icons, inline editing, and doesn't look like it is from the 80's. Hopefully in 10.6 we'll see real task management, etc.
Game of inches...
Wow
I just got 559 running.... and I have to say wow. I wasn't expecting much difference, but on the contrary this build is dramatically improved.
Very hard to put it into words really. Having been running 527 and then 528d etc.... this 559 build feels like 100 times improvement without question. Very polished, very ready for the big time.
As I said before, hard to put it into words. To the doubters, doubt no more. To the ppl that fear Leopard may be further delayed, fear no more. I was concerned before... and now that is all out the window. This build is without question a release candidate and probably 1 or 2 builds shy of Gold.

Any difference in the most critizised areas, like screaming bright trafficlights or ugly dock?
I was going to skip Leopard, but now Apple have added this killer feature I just have to have it!
Err... Well there are a few other features in there that I did want anyway. An excelent writing tool is to use the text-to-speach capability when proofing text. The vastly improved version that was in the demos is going to be a great improvment - and is only one of the new features I am looking forwards to. Big question that remains is - did they really FTFF?
Can you eleborate any more? Cuz right now you're sounding like a troll. Do you not like the UI? Emphasized features? What is it?
the waiting game
The waiting game is terring me apart
Im with you - going for a macbook pro though.Lordy please let them announce the release date and a Leopard up to date program, so I can finally BUY A NEW IMAC already
The waiting game is terring me apart
No... I never really payed much attention to the traffic lights as you call them.
Dock is the same as well. I actually love the new dock. I guess its a matter of preference, but when I go from my new iMac with 559 to my macbook with Tiger, I find the old dock bland and boring. Definitely prefer the new one.... use it for a week or so and it really grows on you.
Personally, I hardly call those 2 items the most widely criticized. The most whined about maybe, but my focus was on the real issues of the core OS itself. It was wildly not ready before now.... to the point where I was a bit worried. Thank the maker everything is shaping up nicely.
