MacUser: Microfeed for "Waiting for Leopard" http://www.macuser.com/ihnatko/waiting_for_leopard.php Comments for the entry "Waiting for Leopard" en-us Movable Type v3.34 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Wed, 28 Feb 2007 16:49:01 -08:00 Comment from Chris I'm on the same bench as you regarding Leopard.

And, props for making both Star Trek and Godot references in the same article. That's the work of a madman, there.

My personal hope, is that Apple will have something up their sleeve that finally allows the Mac OS X platform to be taken seriously as a business computer.

Kernel level support for virtualisation?

An email system that can compete with Exchange?

Who knows.

I'm right there with you.
Waiting and waiting.

He said he would come. We should wait for him.

The way that Steve Jobs talks about the iPhone seems to suggest that by now, Mac OS X hasn't been on his mind for quite some time.

I've seen the changes in focus at Apple and watched as loyal users have been manipulated. Trust me - the delay in Leopard is a well thought out plan to generate demand for the product. From a marketing prospective it's brilliant. From a loyal user's perspective I'm as frustrated as you.

Aside from that, it's odd to say the least that Apple claimed last year to be keeping hidden parts of the new OS so Microsoft couldn't copy from them, yet remain secretive long after that argument became moot.

I'm a freelance IT architect and work with a macbook pro in an entirely PC centric industry. However after working with clients standing behind me going wow, I have noticed a few more macbooks appearing in the offices of my clients. Most bought by the employees and then taken into the office to replace the aging PC's on their desks.

Over the last 2 years I have noticed an appreciable increase in the number of mac users in my travels.

John.

They are waiting to pull Vista to pieces in the lab to see what it can do. Then, they will improve upon it in Leopard before its final release.

Time Machine: what's a time machine that allows to travel only into the past, but, together with a beer-drinking cat, a good device for a novel by Heinlein? The secret of TM is that Leopard users will be able to access the *future* content of their hard disks! This way, when you will be requested to produce some document on a tight schedule, you'll just navigate a week ahead and copy/paste the finished work. This is the ultimate productivity booster!
