Why is everyone so happy about virtual desktops? Hasn't apple had this technology for a couple of years now?

 

[killuminati]

I posted a pic a couple pages back. It clearly shows 1GB not 256.

 

[peharri]

Virtual Desktops??

I really didn't think they'd do that. Kudos to 'em, hope they're intuitive to new and experienced users alike.

 

[monke]

New Frontrow

[killuminati]

Thanks, and where? Apple.com or elsewhere?

They will probably have a link to it on the frontpage but if not just go to the quicktime page and it should be there.

Meh...

The virutal desktop feature while im sure is really cool, is nothing new. MS had it has a power toy as part of XP back in 01'.. And the restore feature, well that was considered "new" technology back when windows ME was released in early 2000...

 

[FF_productions]

how long are wwdc keynotes?

About another hour I think..

So about another 2-3 hours until it goes on Apple's website.

Is it just me, or is it crazy that Apple's shipping a $2500 flagship desktop with a $90 RETAIL video card? Even the mid-tower options from Dell and Gateway are shipping with better.

Why do they insist on doing so many things right and then cheaping out on a couple of components?

MacRumors: advanced search - lots of feedback from devs
[13:49] MacRumors: specify file type and other dev requests will be added in leopard
[13:49] MacRumors: making it a great app launcher
[13:49] MacRumors: adding recent items to spotlight
[13:49] MacRumors: prepopulated with recent stuff you've been doing
[13:49] MacRumors: what you're looking for is often right there without doing a search
