New Desktop Pictures and QuickTime X Icon in Latest Snow Leopard

Quick question: will snow leopard be a full retail operating system on the up to date disk or will it be the kind of thing where you need leopard to install snow leopard?

Full system but as with any prior version you will be able to easily upgrade if you have an older version installed.

No one knows yet. We'll have to wait and see.

Not a matter of "knowing" just how else would they do it? Make everyone buy a copy of Leopard first? A bit silly no?

The drop-in disc for Leopard required Tiger to be installed ... since Apple has said the upgrade price is for those with Leopard, it is quite possible the upgrade disc and drop-in disc for SL will be the same deal.
 
There's also a new Quicktime web controller!

Looks a whole lot better!

Yes but what I'm saying is that you will be obviously able to buy it in a store, do a clean and full install of SL without needing anything else to be there first. (what he was asking about)
 
Even though I'm still young I'm an oldy. I like the old quicktime icon. And on this note I prefer the Mac OS 9 desktop over Mac OS X cat series :)

It's just me. Love the classics over the cats. :D
 
is it just me or do some of those wallpapers seem really un-apple like? The camo is awful and the first snow leopard picture is terrible. In leopard all the wallpapers are pretty good but some of these are really un-refined...Just my thoughts

Not entirely sure where you're looking, but I'm still getting the old one...

Same here. It seems some sites use the new one, others use the old one. The new one looks good, but scrubbing is more difficult, and has a "30-second rewind" button for no reason.

Then don't use them. They are there to give people more choice.

Yeah, feels like they're trying too hard to look "hip and trendy" or whatever you want to call it, with some of these.

Would you by any chance have a link to where a site would be using them? - Just even on Apple's own trailer site I'm still getting the old one.

No, that's not how it will work. If you have Tiger on your Intel Mac then you'll have to buy the full retail version of Snow Leopard which will most likely be sold as the box set.
 
Could someone post the new QuickTime X icon in the original .icns format (which includes properly rendered smaller states)? Thanks!

Just backed up my point in the question I was answering to the original person who asked about this very same thing :p

Yes, go a few posts back in this thread, I posted it on the first page I think.

I really like the leaves (leafs?) picture. It's my new desktop background!

Technically speaking 'leaves' would be correct, but I personally am a bigger fan of leafs :p
