WWDC 08 Review 5: Snow Leopard

Yea Botan, or OpenCL as apple is calling it is inherent to BSD UNIX, UNIX in general and Linux and has been used on multiple platforms from X8s to SPARC to ARM. It is designed to work with hardware acceleration and more.

LIke you say man, Tiger is old now and has a vast amount of development done on it post release - hence it beings so strong.

I really like the name Snow Leopard, like you say it implies a continuation of the development of Leopard 10.5. I will be upgrading for sure.

ive never used tiger but i don't feel that leopard is unstable, although im coming from the most unstable platform there is! (windows) so i suppose im a little bias!! non of those have ever quit for me, either i'm very lucky or im just not pushing my system enough! :P

I have 3 laptops a media server and a home pc for games all running vista. enough is a enough too many promises regarding their stability and now after 15 years of being in the pc business im going MAC yes im changing, not only is mac better the mac commuity is a helpfull and happy group of people, funny thing that "happy" i guess thats because they are not like me and having to re-install every 6mths and when u have as many machines as i do im pretty much my own IT guy. TODAY THAT ENDS!!!!

I have also given up hope on Windows and fully into mac's operating system because it's solid and very easy to use

ye i mean i use windows mobile, i like it a lot. i really believed that windows mobile will come back at apple. but i dunno why, after wwdc 08, apple are just too far ahead. can you really see windows mobile 7 be used in the medical field, liek the iphone ?? i may be wrong, i appreciate you comign with arguements we need those in this debate, thanks for commenting.

whats the big difference between leopard and snow leopard? Probally not much! I peronally use vista ultimate x86 plus xp pro editon on boot camp on my 2 macs! I enjoy using both!

I think it's only really worth it if I had a Mac Pro with like 4 cores or more. I'm pretty happy with Leopard now. Even if Apple could maybe release 1 new innovation, ex: Spaces, QuickLook, that would maybe convince me to buy the new OS. I really don't know if updating my iMac is really worth it.

I cant wait till Apple releases Mac OS X Leopard snow because I heard that javascript is gonna be 53% faster man Safari 4 is gonna be crazy fast!!!

for a fact, 10.6 is coming out in about a year, this time in one year. go to apple's site /macosx/snowleopard it says so. it says nothing about the price though

please get off Vista...its not that bad. Its gotten better since its release.

3.) Recent reports have shown that Microsoft fixes bugs faster than Apple. Don't believe me? Pick up a PC World Magazine for June. Go on there website.

Haha. You think Windows Mobile is dead? Get a clue man.

These idiot Apple fanboys think that the SDK is the greatest thing ever. You even said that you have no idea how to use it.

1.) You can only have one iPhone application running at a given time. Have fun with that big boy!

2.) You won't be able to download anything that you want and use it. The applications have to be signed by Apple. Have fun with that big boy!

so they're going to be coming out with new hardware (macs) with the new OS right? and will the current leopard be able to hold the new OS if so? will it be as solid of an OS?

thanks.

ps. i love the new name.

its Quicktime X. and about 64 bit, they just said its going to be theoretically possible to have up to 16 TERABYTES of Ram!!!!

I really want snow leopard to be at least a Discounted price not full price.
