Leopard Still on Schedule for "Spring 2007"

Multimedia said:
Yes, I know. But the way it "handles" 8 cores is not as sophisticated as the ways Leopard will.

I agree it will be a bummer to miss all the new stuff that will be in Intel Only Macs. After all, Apple is interested in selling computers too. ;)

How is Leopard's thread handling better then Tiger's?
 
How Leopard Will Achieve Better 8 Core Management Is The $64 Question

I don't know yet. But I feel confident there'll be a number of ways it will be able to assist in the symetrical allocation of resources among all those cores, and the more to come next year, better than Tiger can because Tiger wasn't optimized to deal with 4 times as many cores as were happening when it was developed. I'm looking forward to reading the 8 Core Mac Pro White Paper Apple is preparing for us now as well as the June 11 SteveNote. I'm sure it'll be a page turner we won't be able to put down. ;) :eek:
 
Just like "I'll have it done this week" means it'll be in your inbox before 8am Monday, "released this Spring" means June 20th. Even if the seeds were coming out clean, they'd be trying to cram more into it between now and June 20. If they're having problems with the current feature set, they'll start scaling it back so they can hit June 20.

Well I think we all remember the last SteveNote. A disappointment for most. If I have to wait until June for a new Mac Pro I'm not going to be happy.

What! people were disappointed. That keynote represented a huge change for Apple inc. née Apple Computers, inc. And the iPhone represents a huge leap in tech that will soon spread to other Apple products.

im withh you,, os i can just upgrade in an hour or so,, i am ecxited for leopard but not as much as i am for santa rosa
 
nothing new

This isn't anything new! We've known this for months now. Why debate over the article when this is common knowledge?!

Santa Rosa is tracking for may therefore you won't see it in new hardware till late may/june. There's no point in releasing leopard until wwdc so everyones gonna have to just wait till june to get everything..
 
Can I buy a Mac mini when they ship with Leopard and run Leopard on the Mini AND my Macbook?

If Apple had any doubts that Leopard would be ready for the Spring ship date, they would certainly not mislead the press at this late date. Ergo, I believe it will ship at WWDC. No reason to ship sooner.

my, my we have short memories around here. ?tv will ship in february, just like announced... oh, well okay there's been a bit of a delay it'll happen in mid march.

other missed release dates:

the original imac
3ghz
G5 xserves
OS X (funny that most people forget OS X suffered a very similar development to vista. consistently slipping ship dates; released without some key features, server version shipped months before the consumer version, 3 years of dev time (more if you count the failed internal attempts like pink and taligent) etc...)

you can even go back the very first macintosh and see how apple kept promising a release date and then missing it.

i'm not saying it won't ship in june, i'm just saying don't believe it just because an apple spokesperson says so. i really hope it does, because my hard drive is in dire need of erasure and clean install of everything, i'm trying to avoid doing that twice.

It just seems that the Intel chips, which should be lightning fast, are operating more like the PCs they originated in. Vista wants a ton of memory to run. It now seems that because Macs are Intel based they are beginning to require the "want more eye candy, get faster chips & memory" approach. :mad:

Hate to say it ... but you are seeing what you want to see. It isn't the reality of the situation.

The install of Mac OS X you get with your Mac mini is licensed just for that system and possibly even the disc will only install on that system. Of course Apple currently doesn't do any licensing checks to enforce this.
 
Who's Mac?

Apple is so focused on the iphone that in a moment of delusional-stupor I turned my fears (that Apple has forgotten they make computers) into a name change for the company... they are Mac... they are Mac... aaaaagggggghhhhhh!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
 
leopard

the second mac pros get upgraded to 8 cores and leapord starts shipping on them i will be buying one. i am sick and tired of working on a 700G3 iBook lol i know so old fashion i really dont want to wait until june to buy one:apple:
 
leopard final cut

i am 99.9 percent sure that on april 15th at NAB final cut exteme (a really professional version of final cut) and the 8 core mac pro to go along with it leopard would again be very nice
 
Leopard

I'm glad my gut feelings have not eluded me, June they said, and June it is. :)

Now all I am waiting to see is , how much of a WHOOOAAHH Leopard is going to be, a whoooaahh...... event, or a WWWWOOOOOOHOHOHOHAAAAAHH!!!!! event.

As long as it's stable, I don't care actually. Stable, and for god sake, don't mess up audio unit plugins again, Apple just did that with 10.4.9, I don't want to search for new updates again in June, July, whenever I get my hands on a copy of Leopard....
