Why would anyone want to downgrade to Longhorn?
I don't get the "Introducing Longhorn" banner. I'm running 10.3 (Panther), why would I want to downgrade to Longhorn?
For a long time now one of the things I thought would be really cool is if Steve could get up on stage and demo everything on OS X that Longhorn "promises". Just go down the check list, but then show all the other features in OS X missing in Longhorn. That would rock.

hot banners!
What a slap in the face! I was blown away when I first saw "Introducing Longhorn" with the big metallic X and orange and black tiger stripes in the background.
The banners have a level of shock value which certainly will put people on edge tomorrow, not to mention in the mood to bite. (Bite M$ that is)
I agree with the few posters viewing them as negative (negativity affixed to any mentality in general is unhealthy, in this writer's opinion) but I'm not too prudent to absorb Apple's sarcastic humor on these banners.
I don't think anyone still reading these forums can possibly be that sensitive, albeit the sarcasm which whips through the MacRumors community practically by the minute.
With that said, I can certainly appreciate the competitive nature Apple is bringing to WWDC2004. Like someone pointed out earlier, this spirit will propel we Mac aficionados to tighter knit ourselves and further empower us in the platform "battle" for the coming months.
I hope someone or a group of people can make the live text feed happen tomorrow.
Peace!

Since they aren't going to broadcast chances are that the Apple sites will update and let us know what goodies have come out before we get good images from anywhere else.
Damn, 3am Sydney time...

.Net support?
Given these posters mocking Redmond, does this mean that the rumor about Xcode supporting .Net in Tiger will not be happening? I'm not sure anyone with a choice would develop using that platform, but there are a lot of developers that must and selling them Powerbooks loaded with OS X to do it would be a good thing.

You know these posters could hint at something very shocking. I do believe that Apple has mentioned in the past that they have a "backup" version of Mac OS X running on the x86 platform. Could "Tiger" run on my PC? If true this will be hotter than Satan's Balls in July. Think of it, Apple hasn't been allowing third party Mac hardware for a long time. Given all the grief it is to use Windows, this could be the answer.
Something else though, "Tiger" might be able to run Windows Apps natively and so eliminating the need for Virtual PC. That definitely would give Redmond a problem.

Now that is a very interesting perspective. Could it be?

My favorite OS X utility
Actually .net is a fantastic development infrastructure. I use a mac (12" powerbook) almost exclusively for my personal business but my day job is as a .net web developer, using C#. I've used a lot of other technoligies throughout my career and would never go back to anything else. I was very intrigued when I heard of the possibility of .net on OSX.xtekdiver said:

maybe this explain the "tiger" before Mac OS X and the anti microsoft words.
tiger features aren't totally new, and apple sarcastic humor is abusive considering the new technology being developed by ms.
tomorrow is the day of OS X on x86 my friends

Nope OCTO-processor G10s at 20 GHz. To cool it, they needed a cooling system the size of a refrigerator, so the new G10 will not only run Tiger but it can make ice, too!

Duff-Man says....It always amazes me to read these threads on the day before a Steve-note - people come out with the wildest, most unrealistic ideas and whip themselves into a frenzy...then tomorrow they'll be bitching about how lame Apple is because the new iMac didn't come out, or was not at 5 Ghz, or only comes with ...yada yada yada........oh yada!
