Screenshots of Mac OS X 10.3 Panther Leaked

gorman writes "Screenshots of Apple's next major update to OS X, Panther (10.3), have finally been leaked to the web. For months very little has been known about Panther, with only several minor rumors here and there. These screenshots show off many new features, including the return of labels, a brand new Safari-like finder, and an interesting window management system called Exposé. In addition, the screenshots show off refined visuals and improvements to all of the included Apple applications, such as video support in iChat and enhanced spam filtering in Mail. While these screenshots show off a pre-release version of Panther, it's definitely interesting to see what Apple is working on! Steve Jobs will demonstrate Panther during his keynote this Monday at WWDC and will make it available to developers."

Never, its for Macs A.K.A the super amazing G5 computers e.t.c You will never seen Mac OSX on PC because it would detract from hardware sales and serverly damage profits. Getting profits in the tech sector is hard enough without hackng your legs off.

Carbon was (is) an upwards compatibility layer for OS 9 toward OS X. People were encouraged to write carbonized apps in the OS 9 days so your app would work on OS X without having to run the Classic layer.

It's also VERY slow. And it's deprecated now (thank $DEITY). Apple now encourages people to write their apps with the Cocoa (formerly known as NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP/whatever the capitalization was) framework.

Carbon is a speedbump that's no longer needed anymore. It needs to go. The old MacOS is no more.
