lol I agree
I'm also not very fond of the cat names either, I would much rather prefer it be called Mac OS 10.6..
Got a tip for us?

There's one big reason why Microsoft wants to move away from Vista as a name.
But you think that Windows 7 makes any more sense?
Nice try. February 2006. There's not many more days than that in 3 and a half years and I'm not the one trying to find teeny tiny little flaws in a picture that only measuring devices could find.
what's the deal yo?
So is this the final build or is the consensus now that there will be a few more?
I don think I'll bother buying the upgrade as I'll prolly be buying a new mini within the month, yay!
Hopefully it will come bundled with Snow Leopard?
Cheers,
Jed

it's so off topic somewhat too... lol..
bottom line, someone's gonna complain about something no matter what apple releases
I guess you have no clue what this topic is about. (as with the 50 or so others who say the same damn thing)
and umm yeah it does. Would you want to buy OSX with a porn image on it?
I think not.
So please people enough with these comments all they do is make you look stupid. The thread is about packaging. not about Power PC or the fact you dont pay attention to packaging and end up buying the worng item.
haha

7th version of Windows
ummm
- Windows 1.0
- windows 2.0
- windows 3.0
- windows 3.1
- windows 95
- windows 98
- windows 98 SE
- Windows 2000
- Windows ME
- Windows XP
- Windows vista
- Windows 7
I didn't say what kind of porn now did I.
Truth is, the point of the packaging design is to be more green friendly, as well a attract the consumer. YOU may know its OSX, but does the average joe know? There are mac users who dont spend all their lives on these tech sites.
That's why that purported packaging is for the "up-to date" program. For people that already have Leopard and a mac.
Windows 7 is considered the 7th major operating system release from microsoft. Even though it should be considered part of the Vista release (which was version 6), hence the NT version of windows 7 is 6.1
Which is why trying to count versions now makes no more sense than inventing another name. They could just as easily have named it Windows 11, or 8.5, or XP++, and there's no change in meaning.
Nope, the mute consonant "c" was eliminated from Portuguese (as it should):
GRAFIA
No português lusitano:
1. desaparecerão o "c" e o "p" de palavras em que essas letras não são pronunciadas, como "acção", "acto", "adopção", "óptimo" -que se tornam "ação", "ato", "adoção" e "ótimo"

Sorry,had to say this.
Hello everybody!
I wonder if they solved the wrong Group ID issue that many (me included, unfortunately) people had upgrading from Tiger to Leopard.
I wonder what would happen upgrading from Leopard with a Tigerized GID to Snow Leopard.....
And I wonder if Repair Permissions is still soooooo slow in Snow Leopard...
After all these posts, we still don't know the build number...
Is it 10A432?
Mystery.

These people complaining about SL not running on PowerPCs seem to forget that Tiger runs without any compatibility problems even on Macs that are 8 years old, like my old iBook G3...what else should they ask for?
And the Brazilian Apple site says "elegantly perfected"...

This logic is so horribly flawed.
1) This "new" (read: fake) packaging is larger, and therefore consumes more resources, both in terms of materials and fuel consumption for shipping, than the packaging for 10.5. How is that "greener" in any way, shape or form?
2) Your point about attracting the "average joe" is completely self-defeating, because obviously the kind of customer you are referring to - those "who don't spend all their lives on tech sites" (can you exaggerate any more?) - is not going to be affected by any change in packaging, because how are they going to notice a difference if they weren't already familiar with the "old" packaging? In fact, the "average Joe" is exactly the demographic to whom a picture of a Snow Leopard on a box is going to mean the least. Just think about this rationally for a second - ask some "average Joe" with a Mac what OS he runs and he'll tell you OS X. Ask him what version number, and he might not even know. Ask him what "cat" his version is, and he's equally unlikely to be able to answer, so how is a reference to a Snow Leopard going to be more significant to him than a box with a giant X on the front of it? Answer: it isn't.
You also continue to ignore some major concepts in product branding and identity throughout the multitude of misinformed posts that you have made on this subject. There is NO way a sane marketing division would throw away branding they have spent countless $ on and a decade establishing without a *very* good reason. The fact is there is no good reason for them to change their branding strategy for 10.6, and this "new design" is clearly the work of some attention-seeking amateur with an inkjet (and fairly mediocre design skills)
It is flawed in a second manner. Consumers not familiar with OS X should not be purchasing this version of the OS, they should be looking at the retail package that includes iLife etc...
Perhaps the point is to have the 'unfamiliar' consumer NOT look at his packaging.
Why should someone waste his/her time and money creating a fake Snow Leopard box, DVD disc and booklet?
Should be a stupid.
I wish I could see the sides (left and right) of the box.
Why do people do these sort of things ? Welcome to the world of Apple.
