Anonymous Coward writes "A review with a lot of screenshots of the latest beta seed (6C37) has been posted. The latest advancements look pretty promising. I, like everyone else, am itching for a release." I don't know if it is more pretty, or more promising, but it does look cool. Dock improvements, iChat, search the disk from Finder windows, QuickTime 6, Digital Hub section of System Preferences, Firewall preferences, major Speech improvements ...

    If Apple continues to name their releases after failed video game consoles, then by the time they get to 3DO, we're screwed.

    Moneyed corporations, non-working 'poor' and criminal prisoners are turning productive citizens into tax-slaves.

      The next version of Windows is codenamed "Longhorn". It is a kind of cow.

      The jaguar is the biggest feline predator in the Americas. It kills by biting thru the skull of its prey (unless the prey is small enough that a smack in the face from one of its paws can kill it). It will eat just about anything, large or small (including cows). It is a very beautiful, very powerful animal that can make its home in nearly any terrain. It loves water.

      Apple is basically saying here: "Microsoft, my OS can crush your OS' skull and eat it for lunch. It can certainly chomp off large chunks of your monopoly."

      Does anyone have any doubts left as to what Apple's new relationship with Microsoft will be for the next five years? ;)

      Good.

    Then i'd buy Jaguar immediately for the Quartz Extreme!

    It is mega-arousing/droolworthy.
