Photos of Snow Leopard Disc and Retail Packaging?

I cry fake.

This looks an awful lot like the pre-10.4 packaging. I don't think apple will go with this look. The product is an improvement on Leopard, and thus will have similar packaging. Just my two cents. Besides: shouldn't this site be down by now if it was real?

I was thinking that same thing. Why haven't the pictures been taken down yet?

However, I have a feeling that these are real. It's just a gut feeling I have... I just think everyone who hates it is going to be disappointed when it's released and has the white packaging.

I actually don't mind it. It's simple and minimal... and it matches the icon in the purposed GM build. :D
 
I personally dont want to believe that these are real pictures but taking in consideration the fact that user is located in Ireland and most of the printing and manufacturing of install dvds that are distributed in EU are made in Ireland, they could be real, although the users original location is no where near Cork. Just my two cents for this over-bloated topic. :0)

Then you shouldn't jump to conclusions or opinions. Kind of like saying you don't know the details, but the cops acted stupidly.
 
Assign applications to spaces.
Assign an application to any space from its icon in the Dock with a click. Quickly spread your work out in different spaces by assigning an application to a space right from the Dock. Just right-click the Dock icon and select a space for the application.


I cannot find this feature in the latest build. :confused:

I actually like the box *and* the box image. I think it is artistic, beautiful in its simplicity and clarity, and from an advertising standpoint I think that box cover would be plenty capable of drawing attention from someone walking past.

same here, albeit different (which is just fine with me)

imagine the display shelf with a bunch of these boxes? would look pretty smooth me thinks.
 
I think we have to keep in mind that SL is only being sold as an upgrade, or as an upgrade packaged with Leopard. This means it will likely be sitting on the shelf next to Leopard, and they want to make sure that no one confuses the packaging for the 2. They'll probably also keep Leopard on the shelves for PPC users. Seems like a great idea to really contrast the two.
 
I wish they'd done a black matte box (similar feel as the black iphone boxes)
with a shiny logo or something.

a white box with a picture of a cat.. hm.

oh well i don't care too much. im getting it anyway and am excited for whats inside the box. :D

If I had a bigger HD I’d create a partition on it and install SL. But sadly, my 160GB doesn’t have enough space to justify doing it.

I can’t wait until I get a 500GB HD in this MBP….OS X, Win 7, Ubuntu, and a partition for beta OS’s :eek::D

sadly xmarks/foxmarks doesn't work in SL
 
lol @ anybody who thinks this is real, and lol even harder at the retards who slam anyone who has the sense to point out why this could NEVER be real.
 
Using Xslimmer on SL 10A432, it was able to slim a lot of the OS X apps, most of them needed sliming, so I'd think that SL may just install on a PPC if someone was bored and wanted to try.

Look at it as remedial attentio for intel

You obviously are very pleased with your G5 hardware. It appparently is still faster than most Intel macs. It seems SL was required to bring Intel Macs up to snuff! Don't fear, Apple will continue to upgrade 10.5. In fact, 10.5 can now be focused on PPC. (optimized, so to speak)

You make some valid points regarding the time to move on factor, but once again, I've ALWAYS been arguing about G5's, both iMacs & Powermacs, all of which were 64bit, some of which had the capability to run really powerful graphics cards.
All of the Snow Leopard optimizations would benefit these machines. All of the BUG FIXES in Snow Leopard would benefit these machines. And all of the machines are capable of running Grand Central to some extent more so than the early INTEL graphics Macs are capable of running OpenCL.
These are just indisputable facts and go completely against what many of the PowerPC-haters here are ranting about.

I don't think anyone has ever suggested that Apple try to support G4 processors. I certainly haven't.

Steve Jobs and Apple during the INTEL announcement sort of made a commitment to support PowerPC to keep Apple sales going for about a year during the transition.

I think they broke that support commitment, maybe not legally, but certainly ethically.
Snow Leopard breaks an historically long Apple support model for Macs for a good portion of the Mac community.

And 2-3 years is bad support in my opinion.
Obviously, lots of people disagree, but almost ALL of them own INTEL Macs only, go figure! LOL

How does that tell you anything about PPC support? Xslimmer also removes languages when using its default settings.
 
I am soooooo ready to get rid of buggy leopard that this could come in a brown paper bag and I would be excited.

Now put back the WO tools and make it real!!

out
 
I am really looking forward to the features of Snow Leopard, especially those in the dock. However, does one get the sense that "Dock Expose" is very similar to "Aero Peek". See Apple does it too.

If the OS doesn't support PPC, it wouldn't matter if every single application binary was still universal.

I bet the same people who can't wait to get their hands on Snow Leopard will be back a week later complaining about all its bugs.

You think the initial release of 10.6 will be more stable than the eighth revision of 10.5? I wouldn't even think of upgrading until at least 10.6.2. Figure a year after release before Snow Leopard achieves the current stability of Leopard.
 
speaking of dock expose, how well does it work with spaces. if you have an application open in another space, when you activate dock expose, does SL jump you to the space with the open application? what if you have an application open in multiple spaces?
 
I believe that this is the final retail packaging. These photos look legit.

With that said, I feel the same way with some of the other people here. I'm not a fan of the whole cat thing. I prefer to call OS X by it's version number rather than their code names. I can't wait until they run out of cat name ideas so we can all move on to something better. At least Microsoft is moving away from nonsensical names (xp, vista).
