Apple to Unveil New Leopard OS in August

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the new-kitty dept.

Max Fomitchev writes "Looks like Apple is going to reveal its new cool and fast Mac OS code-named 'Leopard' in the upcoming World Developer's Conference in August. Good news for Apple! And terrible news for Microsoft. If 'Leopard' is really what it claims to be, i.e. fast and efficient, in sharp contrast to slow and resource hungry Windows Vista, we certainly would see Apple's remarkable market share gain next year."

    Last I checked Windows Vista is in Beta. So just how does anyone know how it's performance is at this time. The last two builds following Beta 2 are already leaps and bounds faster than Beta2 both during the install and standard functions...

    And people complain about Microsoft FUD.

    Were we not told by the Apple folks that the marketshare was going to boom with the release of 10.0? Then again with 10.2 and so on? And then again when they went to Intel... in fact the market share has decreased since the release of 10.0...

    Maybe they can't afford a real editor. :)

    Tiger brought us the joy of Dashboard, a useless performance lowering scheme, Spotlight, a subsystem that updates itself over the net without consulting the user, and Automator which is a great idea with a clumsy and disk filling implementation. Is it safe to assume that with the Leper release things will get even worse? More crap no one really needs that gets in the way, less control, installs that keep getting bigger--much bigger ... Ubuntu here I come!
