Yeah I'm super excited. I think the one thing that I would never be able to get over, and would completely surprise me, would have to be resolution independent UI. it's gotta happen sooner or later. man would that freak me out.
Got a tip for us?

Yes, it just was...again. I think now it is scheduled for release in January 2007.CellarDoor said:
I think it will be a long, long time before we see a OS XI. What's wrong with OS 10.10 or 10.15?themacman said:
How bout...
...a Quicken-killer! I know that's not exactly a feature, but I've been absolutely HATING Quicken for OS X forever, and today installed Quicken 2006 Premier on my Windows XP machine at work, and WOW - what a difference.. UI is vastly superior, way more features, etc. It made me actually think about running Quicken in XP under Parallels Workstation for OS X. But I want a "native" OS X app.
That's my $0.02

Are we talking about...

Wow.
I think my shoes are talking to me, man.

absolutely. thats why I was so happy to see that teaser on the Dev Community site:
I mean, apple has been developing the practically the same UI techs and looks that vista is trying to rip off for the last 5 years. 5 years in the market, getting user response, that gives them an immense advantage over vista, if just from a "final product" standpoint. I have to imagine that we're going to see some really mind-blowing stuff come august.
Hmmmm i wonder what sort of features would be taking advantage of the emerging highspeed adsl (24Mbps). Better support for video and website publishing apps?
New and improved iChat? that allows fully-integrated video and audio support for MSN, Yahoo, AIM and Jabber.
Hopefully the userinterface would be something more 3dimensional... that would sorta look like frontrow... twirling around as u choose an application. Also maybe fast-user switching to Windows?
Support for a more efficient and reliable 64bit processing technology? With the new Pro Macs?

It's been a few hours and no negative votes yet. Mysterious!
All hail a new goshdarned Finder! More than anything else, that's what'll do it for me. Except maybe Front Row 3 with extensibility to add a real DVR capability, for those of us with the necessary optional hardware. If Apple would get a team together to make MythTV work on a Mac with a nice Front Row-like UI, I think it might just be the best thing ever to happen to computers.

To be clear, it won't be released in august, only previewed.
Also, I think its a perfect time for apple to blow us away with a new GUI (as in no more brushed metal but something completely new) because ilife 07 will be out about the same time and they will be able to coordinate the whole thing.
Here's hoping...
I like the new (plastic ?) look found in the current iLife suite.Peyton said:To be clear, it won't be released in august, only previewed.

i would say i can't wait that long but at leat E3 is next month... hoping for some good stuff from nintendo.
Peyton said:
hmmm so Leopard would be release next year? or later this year?
isnt it a little too early to release iLife 07? they just released iLife 06 w/ iWEb earlier this year.
but i agree about the coordination thing... but mainly coordinate with the 3d look of Front ROW.
maybe safari 3.0 will feature draggable tabs, and easy keyboard navigation for tabs, like Adium has. I'm so used to that UI that when I go into safari I start using the same key commands. it's a real problem. I don't know what I'm going to do.
Ah yes, Front Row. Seeing as how it's pretty much standard on new macs now surly they'll do something big/new with Front Row.

Man...I honestly can't think of anything Safari could use feature-wise (other than basic functionality stuff/bug fixes)...but if they can come up with something more power to them
Leopard will be released in late 2006/early 2007, and iLife '07 will be released in the beginning of 2007.LACOSTE said:
So they will probably be released together or within a month or eachother (give or take a little).
Yeah ever since they added RSS there aren't been many other things that it lacks as a browser. Now they just need to fine tune it into a quietly purring, prefectly lubricated machine. Fueled by Love.Stridder44 said:
Adium just has such a great way of dealing with tabs, I would love to see that in safari. However, the windows are much bigger and have dynamic content in them, so it would probably be a bigger drag on the processor than in Adium.
I feel that Apple should not be charging us for all these "new" OSX. Honestly, comparing my wife's OSX 10.2 and my OSX 10.4, there isn't THAT much of a difference, mainly Dashboard, and Finder, which isn't really worth the price of two upgrades (10.3, 10.4). Maybe from 10.1 to 10.5 that might be worth the price of ONE upgrade. What do you people think?
Yes. you can upgrade from 10.1 to 10.5 for 129 bucks. i guess it comes down to how long you want to wait to upgrade.knackroller said:
::edit:: that wasn't really a satisfactory answer to what you were asking though. I don't know, I feel like I'm at a reduced level of productivity because I'm still running panther. although that might because I'm also running an overwhelmed 700mhz eMac... It's easy for us mac devotees to geek out over new features that aren't really necessary to an adequate user experience... I guess it's up to the individual.
Bingo. I don't mind paying $129 every 18 months to stay up to date, but other people might choose to upgrade more slowly. If someone doesn't feel they've updated or added enough, s/he can always just skip that upgrade.CellarDoor said:
Although I love BootCamp, maybe we will see built in windows virtualization for those who need less graphic-intense programs (not games), and don't want to deal with partitioning and rebooting every time they need to use windows.
