Do you mean he implied that Leopard was several years away or has he actually commented on the forthcoming OS XI?Chaszmyr said:I'm sure they're already in the beginning stages of developing OSXI , but Steve Jobs recently made a comment that implied that it was still several years away.

I remember that, I see what you mean now. From this perspective, it's actually really exciting to think what Apple might come up with given this much time to develop it...Chaszmyr said:Leopard is only a year away, but he made some comment to the effect of OSX being the foundation they would be using for years yet to come, which I think was during the keynote when he announced Leopard.
mad jew said:Leopard has only just been announced, the features are still under wraps and it's remains quite a long way off. I'd say it's a bit too early to tell what's going to happen afterwards.
However, we can postulate that since Leopard will have to be quite different to Tiger so that it'll run smoothly on x86 machines, that the release after Leopard will not be anything too radical - still OSX at least.![]()
Sedulous said:Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Steve Jobs state that OSX has been living a dual life? The X86 version surely must be quite developed and thus not an impediment to further development of novel features.
This does not scan at all. MacOS X has run on Intel hardware since it was called OpenSTEP. Intel processors are novel to the Mac community, but they are not to the people who developed MacOS X. The first shipping Intel-based Macs will run Tiger, not Leopard. Leopard is not due to hit the shelves for about six months after the first Intel-based Macs go on sale.mad jew said:....

mad jew said:Sure, OSX has been leading a double life, but only one (PPC) has been used in the real world, the other has merely been in secret Apple labs. It's this real-world use that has helped system developers create what we use today. I don't doubt that the Intel version of Tiger is very similar to our PPC version, but nevertheless, there will obviously be some differences that won't pop up until real-world use gets the chance to uncover them.

I've got to agree on the SaberTooth. That should be the pinnacle of OS X. The only problem is that it's extinct........SiliconAddict said:Jobs has been talking up 20 years with OS X. So I think at minimum we are going to be at OS 10.8 Personally I want to see:
10.6 Ocelot
10.7 Lion
10.8 Lynx
10.9 SaberTooth

Ya, the diehard Vistalites deserve no better. Or maybe, "Hasta la Vista" or "Puta de Vista"SiliconAddict said:But that's the beauty of 10.9. Its going to be extinct with OS 11.
I still want OS 11 to be called:
Mac OS 11: "How's that Vista thing working out?"![]()
