New Version of Mac OS X Leopard Leaked

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bad-day-for-big-cats dept.

the linux geek writes "InfoWorld has an article informing us that an early beta of Mac OS X 10.5 has been leaked. This appears to be the same build Steve Jobs previewed at WWDC, and contains most of the new features, including Time Machine and Spaces." From the article: "Attendees at last week's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) received copies of the beta ware and had to sign legally binding agreements not to let Leopard stray onto file-sharing networks. Perhaps someone didn't read the not-so-fine print? MacUser reports that this version of Leopard is indeed legit, unlike a fake one that was reportedly making its rounds last week. The version of Leopard available on BitTorrent is 4.3GB, containing 93 files."

    I hope it comes with extra plutonium. A nuclear reaction is needed to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity!

    Out of Leopard...

    Let me run Windows XP right next to OS X, at near native speed.

    My main computer is a Mac Book Pro, but I need to keep a rapid Win XP box around because I need to run SolidWorks (ok.. and Half Life 2). I know a lot of people who are in a similar position due to some heavy lifting, Windows only app. Until Apple either does Boot Camp right (i.e. run XP alongside OS X) or Paralells fixes their big time speed problem, running XP on an Intel Mac is just a novelty.

    Alas I didn't have anyone at WWDC this year so I don't have a copy of the DVD with 10.5 on it yet, though it'll probably show up in the next ADC mailing. It's a pity that Apple could not get it up on the ADC download servers at the same time it was released to the devs that were at WWDC.

    Strange, I have a 350mhz-ish iMac that came with os 9.something on it, ran OS X fine the day I tried it. Of course, it runs debian now since I didn't pay for OS X and wanted to run debian on it anyway...
