given that I pay attention when announcements are made, I was expecting that any upgrades would be intel only since imovie went that way with ilife '08.
Eh, not really. I'm running iLife 08 on my iMac G5, albeit it runs slower than on my MacBook

Some of those wallpapers are horrendously ugly. :-(
That's nice, but I was looking for a more deep red like this

And yet, there's not a compelling reason for Macs to come with Blu-Ray as anything other than a BTO option.
you must have leopard to use the $29 disk. if you don't, you can get a mac box set of the full snow leopard and the new iwork/ilife (which only work on leopard) for like $149-169.
intel systems only. no more PPC support.
these details were brought up when they announced the release month and price
as for the whole "how dare they not support PPC". Apple has been very upfront from day one of the intel systems that they would phase out support for PPC. only folks that never read the mac blogs will be in the dark over this issue. the last power macs were sold almost 3 full years ago so even with apple care they will be out of warranty. a lot of the folks using them will likely upgrade to a many times faster machine so no great issue. those that are still happily using them aren't likely to be doing any major tasks that need the kick of SL anyway.
It's call an opinion. Believe it or not, some people do prefer certain elements of Windows.Thank you for your enlightening comment. Now should I buy Windows 7 or what?
Steve Jobs is a moron for bashing blu-ray cause it is THE future, blah blah.
Leopard is very good and stable for the vast majority of people, but to say it's not without flaws or issues for some is what's absolutely false here.It's not only false...it's ABSOLUTELY false. I have virtually no bugs in Leopard; it's as rock-solid as a good OS can be.
Maybe he never "talked crap" about Blu-ray, but he did refer to the licensing as a "bag of hurt," which is a pretty vocal way of showing disapproval for the format.You really know who the morons are? The people that take half truths and spin them to fit their agenda. Steve never talked crap about bluray, he merely said licensing for bluray was a bitch (which at the time was true, involving many different agreements from all over the place, apparantly know its simpler). But hey if you wanna go and twist words, be my guest.

As usual, the vocal minority tends to speak for everyone, but there were some well-documented issues that plagued Leopard, although most have been fixed now.
Again, just because you (and me) have no issues with Time Machine doesn't mean that others won't, or at least finding it annoying.And I have ZERO problems with it. It's a flawless backup solution for me...so much so that I don't even remember having it.

No, although naturally the format could be better w/o such licensing issues.That to me says exactly what it sounds like, "licensing is a bag of hurt" were his exact words if im not mistaken. Doesn't sound a damn thing close to "bluray is a bad media" to me.
