I will upgrade, somewhere around 10.6.3
Hell yeah!!! Where's the BSOD????
Where's the Viruses and Spyware???
Where's the retardo reflicted Fisher Price GUI?????
And the reach around your right arse cheek to scratch your left ear control panel????
I've been shorted!!!!!
do you see 10.6 as a meaningful upgrade for those that skipped leopard altogether as i know some tiger users have due to various reasons? i know apple tends to shut down support for two os'es ago, like they did for panther before leopard.
i still want to know what's the % of tiger users out there as of right now.

IMHO, if you have an Intel processor (I believe 10.6 is rumored to support Intel processors only) running 10.4, 10.6 will be a definite upgrade benefit, especially if you have multi-core processors.
Dude... where do you think the entire concept of the Windows OS came from in the first place?
Put Back Is Just an Elaboration . . .
of existing OS X technology. For example, if you move something to the trash with Finder and discover right away that you made a mistake, you can undo the move from Finder's File>Undo option. If you carry on with other Finder operations and then discover you made a mistake, you've got to drag it back yourself. Perhaps Apple has piggybacked on this or imbeds metadata in the file or keeps a separate plist for the Trash that records the origin of trashed items. It's nice, but not really breath-taking. I'm not really sure anyone can make the claim that this is evidence either that Mac OS X isn't advanced. Like another poster said, it doesn't have to include every other feature of every existing OS to qualify as most advanced. Snow Leopard is very perky, even with the debug code, and the Finder is much more responsive with very little spinning beach ball action. I've noticed a real difference when it comes to external hard drives. I have 10 TB of storage arrayed across 12 external drives and I absolutely dread any action, such as the open with... command, that requires the OS to poll all existing drives for renewed data (in this case newly added apps that might be appropriate to open a given file). This happens much more quickly in Snow Leopard.
Snow Leopard will be what Leopard should have been. I've always felt that 10.5 got the short end of the stick in the rush to get the new iPhone hardware and software out the door. I hope this is a sign that Apple are refocusing on their core competency, making and selling computers.

Just what I was about to write!
What I believe will be most helpful is "automatic date and time stamping of screenshots in the file name" instead of Picture 1, Picture 2, etc.
Hell yeah!!! Where's the BSOD????
Where's the Viruses and Spyware???
Where's the retardo reflicted Fisher Price GUI?????
And the reach around your right arse cheek to scratch your left ear control panel????

I just cracked up… I don't know how…
I'm thinking about uploading them onto You Tube but as private, then adding one of you as a friend and giving that person access to the videos.
(BTW, I really have the videos, I just don't know a lot about video uploading and stuff.)
This alone will practically be worth $129 to me. I have enough "Picture xxx" screenshots already.
It was Microsoft's attempt to build a GUI for MS-DOS to compete with the Mac OS, which itself was more or less a copy of the Xerox GUI.
Kernel panics are the equivalent of the BSOD. Both rarely occur.Hell yeah!!! Where's the BSOD????

There are no viruses or spyware in the wild, although there have been demonstrated proof of concepts.
The "Fisher-Price" interface was the default Windows XP theme. By the time Vista was released, it was retired. And don't forget you didn't have to use it. Unlike Apple, Microsoft actually lets its users select from a few different themes by default.
I have no idea what you were trying to imply with your last comment.
It's not at all a must-have feature. I agree with you there.
I'm just annoyed by Apple's marketing. Since the retiring of "Think Different," all they've been is immature and mud-slinging.
It's called Marketing for a reason. Marketing != truth.
Now, I honestly don't think Put Back is going to be used a lot for most people. I have a feeling people are just going to use Time Machine instead of looking at the trash bin to find the deleted files.
Put back is often only useful as long as there's files in the trash bin but how long do people keep the files in the trash? I often secure delete my files daily.
Yeah, I agree, it's probably not going to be a useful feature for some, but I guess others will get use out of it.
Also, there are some hardcore Apple fans who really do believe every "Get a Mac" commercial they see.
What, did I not use enough of these?

If someone becomes my friend on YouTube, I can allow that person to watch the videos.
Unless I have some special version, I already have that in my current Leopard, even before my 10.5.7. update.

That poster didn't know what they're talking about. (Someone who never visits the system preferences)
What's new in Snow Leopard is the ability to control this from the dock.
I will upgrade, somewhere around 10.6.3

Same. I made the mistake of upgrading to Leopard soon as it was released. Biiig mistake, especially on the wifi front.
Unfortunately the videos are down, but i'd like to point out that feature 1 should never have been removed from the OS (what were they thinking!), 2 is a feature in Vista which is very handy, 3 has been in Gnome (linux window manager) for quite a while now, and 4 is going to be quite useful.
