How in heck do you think it will know if you're a Leopard user or not? It does require you to be a Leopard user.

Well that's the whole reason I brought it up : to make the point that it has been 7 updates since I filed this as a bug and nothing has changed. Hence my snarky comments about Apple's apparent inability to catch up with reported bugs.Sorry if that wasn't clear.
That bug is very entertaining!
I didn't even know it was possible to view in full screen. I love learning something new.
This is out-of-date; PHP in Snow Leopard is 5.3.0, I don't know about the others.

You're certainly easily amused.
I haven't seen any evidence that they have or will support it. Has anyone seen a build that does? I hope I'm wrong. There will be a few techie whiners like me who will complain that their 2007 Macbook core2duo (only TWO YEARS old, Apple!) won't be supported to run a 64-bit OS that's "64 bit to the kernel".
If you're running Leopard: Here's an idiotic usability bug that I filed on 10.5.1. It was quickly flagged as a duplicate. 7 Updates later, nothing has changed...
Try opening a multi-page PDF file and then press Shift-Command-F (for a full-screen slideshow). Now click on the arrow pointing to the right and see if you advance to the next page
Hint: Now press play, wait till it automatically advances to the next page and then go back. Suddenly the rightward-arrow works.
Gives you real confidence in Apple's ability to catch up with reported bugs. Admittedly this one only limits usability and probably never manages to get high up in Apple's bug priority queue, but still, it makes you wonder...
Well, it's your lucky day because it's working in SL (on the same machine it's broke in Leopard).. great!
There are no preferences inside Quicktime X - you're given three qualities to encode at within it - and thats it. Talk about castrating the selection to the point of pandering to the mouth breathing click 'n drool crowd.
Does Apple write their own drivers or do they rely on the manufacturers to produce them?
Also all intel cares about in their graphics solutions are power consumption and cost, not performance :[
"everybody, not just Leopard users" = "Leopard and Tiger users". Remember that SL will only run on Intel anyway; it's been almost two years since Leopard was released, so between people who bought new Macs after October '07 and people who got Intel Macs after January '06 and have upgraded to Leopard, I'd guess that it's more like 80% of compatible Macs that will be eligible.
Adobes stuff breaks first because their products are crap quality - the only saving grace is the fact that they have a monopoly in the area they specialise.
Flash being the prime example of Adobe crapness - their products are so bad, they make Office 2008 for Mac look like a work of art.
You can do a clean install - it is just a matter of launching the Disk Utility, formatting your hard disk, exiting it then proceeding with the install.

7 updates? You're just impatient. I submitted on the repeatable crashes and bugs with the iTunes dashboard widget first on 10.4.0, then on 10.4.1, then on 10.4.2, ..., then on 10.4.11, then on 10.5.0, then on 10.5.1, ..., then on 10.5.8, and I'm looking forward to sending it in there again when SL comes out. In all that time, not only has it not been fixed, but another bug has joined in, courtesy of iTunes 8.
So as I see it, in 10.6 we're getting the first improvements to Exposé, which came in in 10.3. Maybe 10.7 will see some improvements to Dashboard (or they could just remove it altogether) or at least bug fixes.
Other things like colour calibration reversion on wake from sleep I've been submitting on since 10.5.1, and I still think they'll get bored of receiving the reports and fix it long before I get bored of reporting it
.Menubar focus issues I'm pretty sure are the fault of the MS office apps rather than Apple, but I'll keep submitting reports on those as well.
What's the opposite of an Ignore List? I'm putting you on that.
My first impression from the WWDC keynote, when Bertrand said "We want all Leopard users to upgrade because Snow Leopard is the better Leopard", wasn't that the price break was for altruistic reasons, but that for some reason they no longer wish to support 10.5.x., and want to diminish future backlash by reducing financial barriers.
At least that's what got through my tin foil hat.
Weeks? More like days. I think the GM seed was declared 9-10 days before it was released, and Apple had a counter ready as soon as it was officially done.
Of course, we all know how that turned out (the infamous 10.5 Finder bug comes to mind...)
I was eligible for the $9.95 upgrade so I placed my order on June 16th. My visa card shows apple just submitted the charge on August 7th. Read into that as you like, but companies usually don't charge until they are ready to ship
that's 9.95 + 0.70 tax
Yep, did the same.
It's the Buddy List. Great for Forum Spy too.What's the opposite of an Ignore List? I'm putting you on that.
babyjenniferLB made mention of a 64-bit driver for the GMA 950 but never offered proof.
The GMA X3100 is up in the air as well. 6 GB addressable RAM on Santa Rosa hardware only to get stuck without 64-bit due to what seems to be laziness.
10.6 is like fixing up your busted up daily driver. You would like to get rid of it, but its reliable and a fixup to make it more solid will give it a nice new feel for a while. Till a little time passes then your ready to get new again.

I agree 100%. Lately I've had lots of trouble with leopard. I've tried using apps like onyx to speed it up, but it hasn't helped much. My MacBook just gets slower every day. I'm really looking forward to some speed improvements in Snow Leopard.
