stuartluff said:For me they are definately fake because the 'peephole switching' effect is very lame and too complicated to be from Apple.
Apples graphical style is simple and concise. The peephole effect is too much eyecandy for very little reward.
Also the RAM is wrong!
I guess you haven't used Keynote 3? Peephole is one of the slide transitions...
I don't think the IE7 window shadow shows a fake at all. I just moved around some windows on my system and it looked just like that on my screen.
Other than that, I'm just excited because we haven't had anything "spy" related to sink our fangs into for years it seems. I don't care if it is fake.... this is like the old days again!!!!

==What is Multiple Desktops== (just in case there is confusion)
If you have two physical monitors hooked up to one computer that allows desktop spanning (i.e. PowerBooks, PowerMacs, MacBooks, Intel iMacs), you can have two "desktops"(well, it's really one expanded desktop, but you know what I mean). You can drag other windows onto that other desktop, and see them both simultaneously.
Now, take away that second monitor, but still leave the capability to have two desktops. You can't see the second desktop at the same time as the first desktop, but you can "toggle" between the two using a key combination or perhaps a menu item. Your second desktop then appears with all of your windows arranged just as you left it. This concept can be expanded to third and fourth desktops, and does not apply just to the window state, but to icons that are on the screen.
==Why is it good==
So, some people may say that this is pointless unless you have a second (or third, or fourth) screen. However, lets say you were a very busy user (say a webmaster/guru), and you had a bunch of apps open. Take these few:
-Dreamweaver
-Photoshop/Fireworks/Flash/whatever
-Safari
-Firefox
-IE
Now, you can't possibly see everything at once on one monitor. Expose is helpful in that you can quickly switch between seeing multiple applications, but even it is limited in that you may just want to see your productivity applications (Dreamweaver and Photoshop) at a time, and then switch to see your preview applications (the browsers). So, you could have your browser windows open in another desktop, and you could have Dreamweaver and Photoshop windows open on your primary desktop to work on your stuff.
Then, when you want to preview your changes in the browsers, you just switch to the other desktop by CTRL-ALT-TAB (or something like that), and wallah, they are all set for you just as you left them the last time you previewed (you don't have to minimize Dreamweaver and Photoshop, and then maximize the browsers each time you want to preview).
Some good ideas, although I'm not sure how I feel about Windows Apps running alongside OSX Apps ....
These pictures really add a lot of detail, and make it seem like it was something very well thought out. Personally I think the Apple is going to change in the "About this Mac" window -- that one has been there for a while and is out of place for even 10.4.
With all the other discrepencies, they lend it to be fake... especially how 10.5 does not have a build number at all.
As for Jan 14, I think the hoaxer wants us to believe this is the release date for it
I still havent made up my mind for real or fake... it's very well fabricated if it is fake though.

Fake
I say it's fake. Not because the Photoshopping is unconvincing. But because of this:
Apple doesn't think people are bright enough to have a 2 button trackpad, but they're going to support multiple desktops?! Aside from 7 of us nerds here at MacRumors who've used unix iterations with this who in the real world would even get that concept?

Whoa! A step closer to Apple groupware?
Yeah, that definitely looks like an integrated iCal/Address Book app.
It just sent a tingle up my spine! Because if they do that, the next step is integrated mail/calendar/address book in a single app. Mmmmm, the tantalizing thought of Apple groupware!
Will we finally see Apple's answer to MS Exchange in OS X Server 10.5? I sure hope so, I've only been begging them for that for three years while watching dozens of my company's clients who were very interested in OS X Server go with Windows Small Business Server for one reason: Exchange.
(And yes, I know of Kerio and Communigate Pro, but MS provides everything in one package, and Apple needs to counter with that.)

I hope its not real. Native windows support is what killed OS/2. They look convincing, you gotta give the guy credit, but Apple isn't this stupid.

agreed. also, tabs work great on webpages, but aren't so cool for the desktop paradigm (at least not the current one). i seriously doubt apple hired new programmers and designers to work on a "completely redesigned" finder that simply added tabs. these are some slick fakes, but if they were real, we'd at least see some full rez shots.

Guess again.
Use Logic Express or Pro, your 1-9 keys are the hotkeys to your 9 multiple desktop enviroments. Professionals get it too, and some of us are pretty cool...
If you do any kind of multitasking multiple desktops are great. I have used them quite a bit in many versions of linux. If you have a lot of windows open but don't want to crowd your workspace, put some on another desktop. That way nothing gets overcrowded.m-dogg said:
Umm, there's nothing wrong with the IE shadow. It has a much lighter shadow than the other window, but it's there, even on the right side. Apparently people aren't very observant, because the frontmost window always has a much stronger shadow than the background windows. I'm not saying it's real or fake, but the shadows are perfectly accurate.

Give it a shot with this app - it takes a little customisation, and while not essential to the way in which I work/play, I find it has it's uses (as mentioned in Longofest's post).

Fake? maybe not entirely - could be a hint at things to come..? drumming up interest etc?
Hmm...
And these aren't viruses?
Nice.

Nice.
And you just KNOW someone's going to make a theme out there that puts hands into the transition.Hector said:

Thats pretty much irrelevent.
OS X was the future of OS 9 everyone knew they werent going to co-exist forever and upgrading you're code was necessary. OS 9 was in no way a competitor to OS X.
Windows will be another story. Id rather just dual boot to be honest with you, leave virtualization to companies like parallels for the niche group of people who need it. Making it standard on all systems could kill apple's support.
