Mac OS X Snow Leopard Build 10A432 Designated 'Golden Master'

[tkermit]

The ones with 32bit chipset are very old, the first gens of MB. Don't worry, the new MBP will run SL perfectly fine.

Can't we just restrict the usage of the word old to toilet seat iBooks and black powerbooks ?! Otherwise my white '06 Macbook will only grow more and more depressed. I fear this may lead to an acceleration in its development of new 'skin wrinkles' (aka cracks) and it's already doing that quite fast enough for my taste...

Proof and how about the GMA X3100?

I don't have a machine with the GMA 3100.

You can't glean that information from the kext for the GMA X3100? What about posting proof for the GMA 950?

Anybody have a list of versions and bits. That is what is the version numbers of the open source packages supplied and are they built as 32 bit or 64 bit binaries. For example:

Java
Python
Ruby
Curl
Bash
and the list goes on.

I'd love an answer to this too.

Java 1.6
Python 2.6.1
Ruby 1.8.7.72
Curl (WTF is this?)
Bash 3.2.48(1)
GCC 4.2.1
Perl 5.10.0
PHP 5.2.8

The only reason it wouldn't have one is that Apple was to stupid to write it.

The 950 and x3100 are supported under x64 in Linux and Windows. I doubt Apple would be the ONLY OS to not support it.

Powerbooks and iBooks are obsolete and legacy. Anything =< 08 MB/MBP is old.

Is the only advantage to ordering SL through Amazon (vs. apple.com) is that shipping is free?

 

[birch25]

Because it's d*** cheap and you got the best OS that can run on your Mac.

Most people who pirate software (especially OSX/Windows, Photoshop, and Office) say they do it because the developers charge too much. Apple knocked 78% off the typical price for a major upgrade and people are still going to pirate it like crazy. The same thing is happening with Windows 7 at the moment; people are downloading the RTM even though it was only $49 at Amazon (sadly more expensive now). It's not a about price, it's about getting everything for free.

Isn't shipping free if you order on Apple's site?

 

[Shake 'n' Bake]

Only on orders over $49, I believe. I doubt there will be a shipping cost for Sl, though.

Here's to hoping that $29 DVD doesn't require a previously installed version of Leopard and you can just do a clean install.

A nice clean install that only requires you to pop in the Leopard disk to verify. That would be the cat's pajamas, but I'm thinking it might be update existing system only...

Nah, he should go international and hold it up to tempt the natives of some third world country along with the missionaries. They'll have to choose between The Word vs. Word. It will be a sick spectacle indeed.

Gold Master = the RTM equivalent for windows 7?

As in, the final build?

Seriously, what a name. XP It's great news, though! I'm really looking forward to my first OS upgrade.

Er, what if one bought the computer with Leopard already installed? Like me... =P

Just a short question from good old Germany

Hi there,

just reading the posts and began wondering ... Am I supposed to run into any problems (missing german localization or any of this stuff) if I buy the new MacOS and iLive / iWork in America? I'm on holiday there pretty soon ...

(And sorry if this question was asked a thousand times before ...)

Cheers!

 

[PetRock]

They should offer Snow Leopard at $29 for everybody, not just Leopard users.

The whole point of Snow Leopard is all these performance enhancing technologies that developers have to code for. Are developers going to invest the time and money needed to code for these performance technologies that only 20% of Mac users have? Apple needs to aim for near-universal adoption of Snow Leopard in order to make it worthwhile for developers to code for it.

 

[designgeek]

OMG I can't wait!

 

[stagmeister]

Two questions:

1) is apple offering a family pack for snow leopard, and if so, how much is it likely to cost?
2) Is the up-to-date program DVD the same as the regular DVD, just offered at a reduced price?

Thank you

 

[3dwarehouse]

Great

Cant Wait im a Apple Developer and cant wait for snow leopard!

No, it shouldn't make a difference where you buy it, since the system disc includes all available localizations. The printed manuals will probably lack a German translation, but who cares...Are you sure it'll be that much cheaper though ? Maybe you could profit from a German student rebate or something?

Are you planning on buying the Mac Box set or iLife/iWork and the SL-upgrade seperately ?

EDIT: Never mind my question about you being a student - looking at your profile, I guess you're not.

answer to 1 Yes they do offer a family pack!
answer to 2 No they give you a upgrade disc, when I did the up to date program for leopard they sent me a leopard disc!

Hope This Helped

I dont get it.

In the time it took you to post that, you could have googled it. And it didn't originate with Coldplay -- nothing does.
