Apple Seeds OS X Snow Leopard Build 10A394 to Developers

I hate the new expose, i think apple have completely ruined it.
I like the dock expose feature and the light blue glow but:
1. The window sizes are no longer proportional!
2. The words are underneath, this clutters the screen
3. Doesn't work well with spaces
4. It is very laggy (but this will probably be fixed)

When I'll stop having to fix computers for every single relative because "they got slow" is the day I'll say that Windows has become "usable" for the "average user".

Oh I too use XP, Vista, 7, Fedora and OS X on a daily basis, and I'm extremely proficient in all, but it doesn't make Windows blow any less :p

You would have to help elderly relatives no matter what OS they used. I'm glad you use so many OSes, I do too, and I wouldn't recommend anything but Windows. Linux I would have too much explaining to do, OSX I would have less explaining to do, but explaining nonetheless. The biggest thing I would have to explain would be the price.

This is a feature I'll never ever use because the dock sucks. When you're seriously multitasking, the dock becomes bogged down on even the fastest Mac Pro's. You end up waiting for the dock to un-freeze and probably end up clicking on the wrong item when you actually do click. So I'll want to use this expose feature and end up opening photoshop instead by mistake. No thanks.

Lots of users rely on the Dock. It's the first place we go. It has notifications, everything. Add in Stacks to the mix (I have a whole section of Stacks that represent the folders in my Home folder), and it's a thing of beauty. I even have a "recent documents" stack that also can show recent applications, volumes, servers, items, etc. Does it automatically.

Who says anything about them being elderly :p I would say 90% of my problems are with the 10-20 age group :p

"Why can't I go on Facebook?"

"Can you 'clean' my computer? I think my brother was on it and he downloaded a bunch of ****"

"Where did all my pics go?"

"It says NTLDR not found. What the **** does that mean??"

"it says it wants to update the Windows update." (I love this one. An update to the update to the update of Windows update. LOL)

"Can I use my iPod on this?"

"Ok, I'm gonna go play on my Wii while you fix that."

"Ok I want a Mac instead."


Yup. ;)

If you can't figure out Windows, then frankly you shouldn't be using computers. I know it's fun to hate Windows around here, and that's fine, but the simple fact is that it's extremely usable by the average user. It wouldn't have 90%+ market share if it wasn't. (And yes, the near monopoly helps, too.)

I won't even be bothered to respond to your comment. Kindergarden stuff...

Ironically, they keep asking the same stupid **** even after they get a Mac :p

I've run into quite a few users that thought just switching over to OS X would make their computing lives easier. To them Mac OS X was supposed to be easier to use or for the computer illiterate. Yet you still are asked the same questions that they had over on Windows.

It has 90% market share because of licensing to everyone and their dog. And it shows too, and not in a good way.

Apple decided on a closed system and charged more for it. Apple mismanaged this paradigm in the mid-90's and it almost killed them. Steve Jobs returned and Apple executed it correctly. And now Apple dominates the upper end of the spectrum, relegating MS' products to bargain-basement (cheap, low-class) status.

It's just that simple.

The upper end of the spectrum? What does that even mean? Windows is used on the highest end hardware and runs some of the most complex and advanced applications in the world and its user experience is acceptable for most people. I'm a Mac guy too (posting this from the latest Snow Leopard build) but I also have a Win7 partition and I hardly feel my computing is slowed down at all by using it. Your comment reeks of blind fanboyism and complete disregard for any idea besides "Apple is great and Microsoft sucks."

Is the iStat Pro menu bar working in this build?
Click to expand...

It didn't work in any earlier build and still does not in this one either. Maybe someone has a workaround but I get a message that says "iStat menus could not load the network extra".

Tell them to stop using Limewire. In a world of bittorrent it amazes me how many people I know still have these archaic p2p programs flooding their systems with viruses!

Guess you're not a real "Mac guy."

Sorry. We'll have to take back your membership card. And please stop visiting the buffet, as it is no longer free.

(The upper end of the spectrum means that Apple dominates the Premium end of the industry. Apple products are regarded as Premium products, that sell on margin, not volume. And those with more money to spend and more disposable income are choosing Macs.)
 
In All Honisty 10A394 , is very close to GM , i am running from now on as my main system i have absolutly no ISSUES running it , and welcome the update via the Software update ,

I agree. I've been using 10A380 on my my primary work machine for the last month or so, and so far it has been excellent. Few bugs here and there, but very much so usable. Now updated to 10A394, and even those bugs that I was experiencing seems to have gone away. Awesome! Can't wait for final release!
 
Yeeah
