Mac Pro, Mac OS X Virtual Desktops Announced at WWDC

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the and-many-more dept.

haym37 writes "Of the many announcements yet to come at WWDC, the first is the announcement of the Mac Pro. The Mac Pro contains two Intel Xeons, up to 3 GHz, and is supposed to be 1.6x to 2.1x the speed of the PowerMac G5 quad. It can hold up to 2 TB of internal storage and up to 16 GB of memory. The graphics card can be up to a Radeon x1900 or an FX4500. The case will be the same as the PowerMac." MacRumors.com is providing running coverage from the floor (Note: "[U]pdates will be automatically inserted at the top of the updates section. Do not reload manually."), including another announcement that OS X will include virtual desktops. What a great idea!

    The anticipation leading up to WWDC left a lot to be desired.. I was expecting some great new products, but there was nothing out of the ordinary. Lame.

    I know! I remember when Microsoft Outlook came out in the 90's with that.

    > Spaces! Seems like the true virtual desktops that everyone has been asking for.

    How innovative!

    Why is it whenever a negative comment is made, the Apple fanataics automatically bust the post down as far as they can?

    Proof positive...

    "> Moving ToDos into Mail is interesting."

    Apple copying directly from Microsoft MacBU's Entourage app (not to mention Outlook)?

    And Spaces looks like a straight copy from Xerox's Rooms app for Win3.1.
