Brushed Metal interfaces are SO last Millennium. 😛brepublican said:
But I agree with others about Safari. It was once superior to FireFox, but, lately it gets so bogged down that I have to shut it down and restart it several times a day just to clear things out. As a result, I've found myself using FF more frequently for the past few months. But I still prefer Safari's interface and featureset.
Believe me, I wish I could say "Safari seems so SNAPPY!" after each update, but, it's been the opposite for me.

I second that, in fact i just quit safari because it froze on me while i was trying to browse to this forum. I have restarted it 4 times today due to loads of spinning beach balls and serious lag in rendering times. All these dont happen with Firefox or even IE. Safari definately needs a tweak.
I hope they fix Mail. It's IMAP implementation is flawed, it's "personalities" are useless (compare to Fastmail). It could be sooo good if they worked at it.

My point is that I don't think that there will be much in Leopard for PPC users. I am not sayingthat Leopard will not work on PPC which it will and so will it's replacement I am sure. I believe that the major benifits of moviong to Leopard will only really be apparent if you have Intel.
Well how do you do that? I have tried dropping one albumn on another and it doesn't go. I cannot create an album inside an existing album either, it just make a new album at the bottom of the list.Applespider said:

There is no need to be rude. OSX works, I can't see any major speed improvements are going to appear for PPC, it is stable and I don't think fiddeling about with the finder appearence is a change. Yes they could add multiple desktops like Linux, but basically, I don't see any great enhancements coming.
Personally I think Apple really needs to pay attention to its applications. iWeb, iPhoto, Pages etc etc all need lots of resources thrown at them. Some applications are really solid, like iTunes and iMovie and iDVD, but the others are still work in progress.

I'm so sick of this - why do we have to have this discussion every year just before WWDC!!!
Dots in verison numbers are not decimal points, just like dots in IP addresses.
dr_lha said:
Yes - but the rumours pre-WWDC have been pretty thin. I would like to hear something other than pure wish-lists. There seems to be a lot of people who are publishing wish lists, then other sites are picking up these wish-lists and publishing these as rumoured features of Leopard.
Seems that Apple has better leak-proofing on Leopard than they did on Tiger.

I have no Safari issues either. It's lightning fast for me, no slow downs, no crashes. Occasionally I have trouble with embedded video, but not often.

From my perspective, it seems that Tiger Mail was not based on Panther Mail, but on Mail from 10.2.
Most of the IMAP issues were not present in Panther mail, and I was quite pleased with the improvement in Mail when I got my copy of Panther.
Then when I got my copy of Tiger, I noticed that it seemed to be a new interface on top of 10.2's dodgy mail. I never used the activity window in Panther mail, then suddenly I needed to use it frequently in Tiger mail, just like I did before I upgraded to Panther.
Let's hope Leopard's Mail is based on Panther mail and there are two teams leapfrogging each other...

No, it's not. For the millionth time, the OSX version number is not a decimal number -- it has two dots for christ's sake. It's a combination of X, Y and Z integer numbers which _EACH_ can in a 32bit world be anything between 1 and 4294967296. Given that X number stays ten like forever and Y number changes with every cat name Steve can imagine, the Z number is used for OSX minor revisions.
So in my opinion Apple should release 10.4.10 just to end this number madness. Let it be 10.4.28 if it needs to be; even better, drop the ten and just call it version 4.28 (major-dot-minor) to make it even clearer, because the "OSX" has the ten in itself.
I hate this "four-dot-ten-equals-five" talk. Hate it. Really. Sorry about the rant.

You can't put an album in an album - you create a folder and put a set of albums in it.
It's there under the file menu - new folder.
You can even put a folder in a folder...

Thank you ... I joined the community of "switchers" in 2003 and have been generally pleased; but Tiger has been a continuing pain for me. I like the new features, but (for example) I want mail to work reliably and it hasn't since I upgraded to Tiger.
When asked by friends about whether they too should "switch", I've stopped telling them yes.

Same thing has been happening to me recently except it was my sister and she was in the market for a new laptop and was "interested" in the MacBook Pro but i couldn't in good conscience recommend it to her because i was having a lot issues with mine (as where others) while i still had it So i told her to go for HP instead which everyone in my family (except moi of course) uses.
Tiger while faster for me as an upgrade is still meh.....
Its a solid operating system and i like it but i don't think its all that better than Panther. Weird thing is i have this feeling i might be skipping leopard/vista altogether.....well for a while i.e maybe when they get to 10.5.7 and Vista SP3.
