Apple teases Mac OS X 10.7 which will be called...
- Thread starter Candlelight
- Start date
I dunno...didn't people get excited about Windows 7? I thought they did.
Well, even if PC users don't, Mac users do.
Hackintosh (Zepto 3215w) and Powerbook G3 (G4 550mhz). Sold my iMac (-09) a while back. But I do get your point, lovely OS.
I use Snow Leopard at home and original Leopard at school (I suspect because the IT guys want to maintain pairity between the Intel Macs and the handful older G5s we still have). It's a 3D animation curriculum, and its ridiculous how much more crashy the exact same version of Maya is on the school machines as opposed to the personal machines in the classroom.
yeah, i noticed the same thing. i had to take over the IT dept in my school awhile back as the it-guy is sick. had only minor probs with the macs but leopard is a lot more prone to crashing than snow leo. we run mostly g5's and MBP's btw.
As a Mac user, I disagree. Why are you automatically assuming I'm an exclusive PC user? I'm sure I will be perfectly excited about 10.7 when they actually tell me the things that are worth being excited about. Until then... I won't. And I find that Apple has chosen to take this route disappointing.
Because you called Lion a point release when it's actually a full version.
10.6.5 will be a point release.
10.7 will be a new version.
So because of that I assumed you were used to the Windows way of doing things where the name changes more dramatically between versions. I'm just used to Windows users calling Mac OS updates 'point releases.' I've seen it happen many times. I'm not being weird here...that's the exact phrase they tend to use.
Clearly I assumed wrong, but past experience is what led me to that conclusion.
