i may be wrong, but it's my understanding that screen sharing is not tied to .mac. rather, its just a new button in ichat like video or audio chat.
and this is among my top new features of leopard.

I got mine delivered yesterday, and yes Safari is a lot snappier.
Here is a photo of it I sneaked in the elevator- sorry it's only on my phone camera, but I will post better ones once I get the chance.
Anyone else think its more reminiscent of...
CAT IN A BOX!
Nice package placement, should be you in an elevator with the box, attached, hands free.
And yeah, this is how serious I take OS X releases. I am excited for switchers. I have been enjoying my Apples for many many years, and its nice to see wider recognition for all the hard work they do in Cupertino. Enjoy!

isnt it dick in a box ? search youtube
Does anyone really think Apple cares whether people get it at 10am or 6:01pm on Friday? C'mon....we are talking about hours here....not days.
Trust me....the FedEx guy isn't going to circle my block until the clock hits 6pm to deliver it. If it's on his truck in the morning....he'll be stopping....and I'll be INSTALLING!

That depends on how you define software design. Since it is not a programming task, it necessarily precludes any "engineering" of the software, since the application of technical skill specific to software occurs at the code level. That is, unless you're willing to concede that all artists, management, and marketing people are engineers, too. Programmers are software engineers in my experience. Everyone else is a software developer, but not an engineer.
I can design software all day long (and so can Steve Jobs and Bill Gates). None of us are engineers. I have a professional background in graphic design, IS, and law. I'm sufficiently technically-inclined to apply a strong science and math foundation to that design, but when I sat down and designed a website or codeveloped artwork for software UI, we didn't delude ourselves with the notion of being "engineers." You may disagree, but I think most designers would prefer to emphasize the artistic and many engineers would be offended by the "watering down" of their trade.
Unless you're using radically different definitions, it seems you're saying that design is a requisite part of the engineering process. That's true, but it doesn't make designers into engineers.
It's a software product. There's nothing else to design.
Where Are Your Photographs Of Your Leopard DVDs & Boxes & Collateral Material?
Give Us The PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF Please!
So far we still have NO PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE any of these so called early receivers are telling us the truth. Just a bunch of uncorroborated TEXT.

No it is not. You've already proven yourself at spreading BS. How's Leopard Download Edition working out for you?
Mine says " Not yet shipped" and the shipping method is Standard-Residential. How are they going to get it to me on time? Even if they ship it tomorrow it would have to be shipped overnight to make it.
I am most excited about Spaces and iChat. Almost all of the features in Leopard look amazing to me though, and I'm one of those people that would be buying it even if the only new thing was the dock and finder just to support
. LOL. If mine were here yet I would... not even as if I'd have to go and find a camera I can just use the iSight and photo booth.
Before I saw the tour video probably either Spaces or Quick Look. Since watching that video: The new iChat features.
I can see most of the new features being things I will use though.
That's the right way to look at it. Cool we can let the retail buyers be the guinea pigs and if there are any problems they can stop us from installing it.
So, the retail buyers get theirs first and we (the UTD buyers) who have to wait can learn from the retail buyers issues, everybody's happy!
Same here. As I have asked in other places, because we're the first people to actually experience 26th October, does the same go for actually getting our grubby mitts on Leopard? 6pm here is 17 hours ahead of New York...
Here's a quick question because I am still new to the apple world. Lets say I went out and bought a macbook to go with my new iMac. I ordered the up-to-date leopard for the iMac already. Could I theoretically install leopard onto both computers with the one disk until the 2nd license from UTD came?

Big foot's got his. Bastard.

When did you order it? Mines still prepared for shipment
2pm the day it went on preorder
Ok so by the license agreement I couldn't, but it is possible to do it? I'm not saying I'm going to do this because Apple has me by the balls waiting to hear about the processor bump for the macbook Nov 6th (Leopard on my iMac is going to have to hold me over for a while!) But there isn't an activation process like Microsuck?
When did you order it? Mines still prepared for shipment
Mines still prepared for shipment too. As I recall it was around 5pm the day it went on preorder for me.
