In exchange, I offer some trinkets: ☃☁☂ - meatmcguffin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18Probably worth pointing out that software update.app will only update the 499 build and not the WWDC build
- Ransomowris, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12Hm, first time they've used software update for leopard builds in a long time. Testing that, too, probably.

- tuartboy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Nothing's gonna help you mate!
http://lowendmac.com/ppc/8600.shtml - rhaleuk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Have to say, I'm using the WWDC version and I find it shockingly stable for a beta that was so far from release. Can't wait for the final boxed version.
- rspeed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Shh!
It's much more entertaining to think he's trying to run OS X on a PowerMac 8600. - Alystair, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Your trinkets made my day, thanks astrosmash :)
- NoOneButMe, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7Does it fix the graphic sluggishness for people with 8600's?
- paOol, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4this has got to be the least commented story ever to hit the front page.
i dont even see anyone bashing macs in this one. - coldfusion1970, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Mac OS X (so far) doesnt use activation.
- SVPirate, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Erm, he means NVIDIA GeForce 8600s :P
- SVPirate, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The version after the WWDC version actually had *more* bugs in, becuase they added some features and altered some from the WWDC version (which was stable in order to appear good in public!), this is likely a fix to get it back to the same level of stability and iron out any additional issues.
- mediaphile, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Does installing Leopard wipe your whole drive clean? Or will it save your applications and stuff like an OS Reinstall?
Also, what kind of activation is involved? - moisie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Saying something is shockingly stable for a beta doesn't actually mean they think it's "stable" just that it's more so than they would expect for that stage.
- stalefries, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I dugg you up, despite your obvious lack of reply-fu.
- postaldave, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2if you don't know the answer to that please go buy a real mac.
- mediaphile, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1So when you archive and install, it keeps your apps intact, right? Like when you do a re-install of the current OS X.
- hackeron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Errrr, I used the WWDC version for a couple of weeks and had to revert back to Tiger because the release was just too unstable for me. Here are the notes I've made:
* Safari is unstable. Crashes several times a day at least.
* Firefox fonts are broken, which leaves you forced to use the unstable safari.
* Case insensitive only, if you have a case sensitive share, you will experience problems.
* No optional ZFS :(
* Time Machine doesn't work, when I click backup now I see -- "An error occurred while creating the backup directory." (mind you I'm trying to backup to the same volume as installed on for versioning, maybe it works with external storage).
* Net Info manager is gone! -- Directory Utility has some of the functionality, rest you need to use the the terminal and the dscl command
* Can't get auto NFS share mounting to work with Directory Utility -- keeps saying "The volume for "data" cannot be found. Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again."
* Dock needs a bit of polish, sometimes animation not smooth and moving icons in the dock sometimes makes them vanish -- also dropping new icons on dock sometimes doesn't work.
* Hate the new Dock blue dots that show the application is running, difficult to see them.
* Expose not very smooth
* Bluetooth doesn't work -- I was not able to pair the mac with my phone failing at different stages in 3 retries with 3 reboots.
* Can't use isync with phone because bluetooth doesn't work -- in previous beta ical isync didn't work -- seems to be getting worse and worse when it comes to PIM.
* Sometimes quicklook doesn't show preview of content and you need to switch view to make it work again.
* Fails to resume from suspend on a Macbook Pro Core Duo!
* Quicklook sometimes fails to preview basic MPEG video, but most of the time, mpeg1/2, xvid, divx and wmv preview fine so long as you install the quicktime components.
* Quicklook very resource intensive and (20-30% CPU) when running and doesn't make good decisions of what to preview - you could browse through the folder and it'll get stuck on previewing a movie you were on when you're on a jpg.
* Hard to focus quicklook item sometimes so that space and right/left keys work for preview -- sometimes need to click 3-4 times to get focus.
* Quicklook doesn't seem to cache previews? -- Going into a big movie directory seems to re-generate all previews from scratch each time (which takes hours). - yabos, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Hate to say it but all your bugs are old and the new builds are a lot better. There will not be any Netinfo Manager, it is deprecated. NetInfo is going away.
- coder_cotton, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Upgrading isn't supported yet, but you can archive and install (which basically just gives you a new /System folder). Or you can wipe clean.
- coldfusion1970, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Weird isnt it.
- coldfusion1970, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Nope, he means a well designed computer thats selling like hot cakes.
- danny951, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Trinkets... flipping genius!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Oh do you mean a PC with a crappy apple logo on it with comes with additional capacity of smug.
- MateyO, on 10/10/2007, -11/+2Now there's a thought. A responsive company, releasing bug fixes to an OS....
ooof, better not finish that thought...it can't possibly end well. - skoles, on 10/10/2007, -12/+3Does anyone know if users of the Leopard "Home" build allow you to update to the newest seed this way w/out cause for worry?
- DigitalN, on 10/10/2007, -15/+3who cares? we don't have Leopard.
- le0pard, on 10/10/2007, -18/+2:)
