- litolist, on 10/18/2007, -3/+179Next Friday, not this one.
- billymonster, on 10/17/2007, -15/+103there are a whole lot of non-features on that list.
frontrow can already play dvds. - colincornaby, on 10/17/2007, -1/+67"OpenDocument and Word 2007 Formats - Take advantage of TextEdit support for the Word 2007 and OpenDocument formats for reading and writing." This should make quite a few people happy.
- geoken, on 10/17/2007, -7/+65The list seems pretty padded. There are 6 entries for screen savers. Wouldn't 1 entry called "new screensavers" suffice?
Also, other things are listed more than once. For example, DTrace is in the "Instruments" section and the "Unix" section.
Those are just a couple of things I noticed at first glance. I'm sure there are a lot more instances of fluffing if you actually dive into the list. - DeadlyNinja, on 10/18/2007, -7/+57Best New Feature: More Smileys in iChat.
- trippytree, on 10/17/2007, -0/+47#128 Empty Trash Button
Empty the Trash from the Trash itself with the Empty Trash button.
this...is...HUGE - ronaldst, on 10/17/2007, -8/+47Wow. When the 300 "features" are broken down, most of them seem so insignificant... :x
- patman, on 10/17/2007, -1/+38I was waiting for this one: Your notes folder acts like an email mailbox, so you can retrieve notes from (...) your iPhone (read it in the Mail section).
- KnightWhoSaysNi, on 10/17/2007, -1/+38...and according to Apple's website
- Raider007, on 10/17/2007, -1/+34actually, macs have been able to right click by default since forever, you just have to plug in a 2 button mouse...
it just so happens that they finally decided to ship a 2 button mouse in 2006...
but seriously, what computer user keeps their stock mouse anyways... - FunkyELF, on 10/17/2007, -0/+31Two missing features....
Resolution-independent displays.
ZFS
Okay, maybe R/W support for ZFS is in the works and will come out eventually but the resolution independence has been on their much shorter list of features for a LONG time. Now it has disappeared.
What a shame. - SparQy, on 10/17/2007, -11/+37Not this Friday... the 26th according to Reuters...
http://ca.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx? ... - christianjb, on 10/17/2007, -11/+37Note the erroneous use of the contraction "it's" as opposed to the possessive "its" in the WIkipedia in Dictionary section.
Poor show Apple. - Takuro, on 10/17/2007, -3/+28Nice find.
However, You almost made me spit out my Pepsi and jump for glee prematurely. October 26th is NEXT Friday. For getting my hopes up one final time after countless false Leopard release dates, sir, I hate you. - winnch, on 10/17/2007, -9/+33And on the Mac we call it control click. Why the *****'s it worth talking about?
- KnightWhoSaysNi, on 10/17/2007, -6/+30This is APPLE!!!!
- THUMPerRTE, on 10/17/2007, -2/+25your mac mini doesn't meet the requirements?
- promovi, on 10/30/2007, -38/+59"Just hold down the Control key while clicking any address..." In Windows/Linux land we call this "right clicking".
- littleodie914, on 10/17/2007, -5/+25There are actually quite a few features on that list that in fact are NOT new to Leopard. For example, the Mouse Controls for Exposé and Dashboard. Those have been there since Tiger, no?
- timusca, on 10/17/2007, -3/+22No, no, no... definitely the time bar in DVD Player. Finally, we can choose a place to skip to while watching a movie! /sarcasm (but yes, it is listed)
- crzdmniac, on 10/19/2007, -2/+21You aren't kidding, where's the story about the student discount going from $69 to $116?
- jackyyll, on 10/16/2007, -3/+20Come onnnnnn....
- byttle, on 11/09/2007, -0/+17they already had that in tiger
- bobbyi, on 10/17/2007, -5/+21This is madness.
- postalblowfish7, on 10/17/2007, -0/+16i've been right clicking on my mac since the ***** 90's. this is the lamest mac myth out there.
- kashem, on 10/17/2007, -3/+18Xcode 3 baby...
- mcnasby, on 10/17/2007, -1/+16Apparently they want to give more students reason to start learning how to use the Bit Torrent protocol. *shrug*
- colincornaby, on 10/17/2007, -2/+17Huh? Large chunks of OS X are open source. (http://developer.apple.com/opensource/index.html) As opposed to Windows which is entirely closed source?
- FenrisUlf, on 10/17/2007, -3/+18Front Row wasn't in Tiger, at least not for my iBook.
- billymonster, on 10/17/2007, -0/+13you already can, check your preferences.
- yonis, on 10/17/2007, -0/+13Dynamic Web Filter
Protect your children from websites with unsuitable content. Apple technology automatically __trys__ to detect inappropriate content and prevents those web pages from appearing. You can override the filter by identifying sites you wish to explicitly allow or disallow certain websites. - darkamster07, on 10/17/2007, -1/+14pepsi? I would have spit that out regardless
- daldredge, on 10/17/2007, -3/+16Guess IMAP idle support isn't as important as six (6) screen saver updates.
- ScrumFritter, on 10/17/2007, -1/+14I know a lot of people think Macs suck, but seriously, no one's actually a Windows 'fan'... are they? O_o
- readerofbooks, on 10/17/2007, -2/+14300+ men and 300+ features next friday night MICROSOFT DINES IN HELL!!!
- zootm, on 10/17/2007, -3/+15Most of the changes are fairly minor. But I think the idea is that, since they're not delivering very many broadly-appealing improvements, they've managed to put in so many small tweaks that people will notice a large difference in general. Unlike Windows users, Mac users tend to be fairly accepting of improvements (Microsoft are often chastised for changing things, regardless of whether it's for the better or not).
I imagine DTrace support will be a boon with developers, it's certainly seen a lot of success on Solaris.
The only big changes I see for users in general are Spaces (which basically work exactly the same as existing Linux desktops, right down to the special effects mirroring those available in Compiz) and Time Machine, which although they're significant aren't on the same sort of scale as Apple have delivered in the past. I look forward to seeing how Time Machine works in practice, too, though. - klaupacius, on 10/18/2007, -2/+14No. Mactards wouldnt care about reading a Windows feature list.
- ScrumFritter, on 10/17/2007, -2/+14Why does no one understand that you can right click on Macs? Do you actually ENJOY being wrong when you're trying to be smarmy and superior?
- johnhummel, on 10/17/2007, -7/+18Hm - my old Powerbook and Mac Mini are *just* outside the range of the minimum system specs. Guess I have an excuse now to upgrade finally!
- christianjb, on 10/17/2007, -0/+11What makes it more embarrassing is Apple's boasting of their system wide grammar checker.
- Kazbaeden, on 10/17/2007, -2/+13It enables people to now say "Leopard has 300 new features" and then point to this list. It was a staple of XP vs Tiger debates, and the list of ~200 tiger improvements, many of which were just as insignificant as this list.
I predict the same thing will happen for Vista vs Leopard debates. - colincornaby, on 10/16/2007, -2/+13From what I've heard, Leopard adds IMAP idle support.
- GreenAlien, on 10/17/2007, -5/+16And when considered as a whole, it's a worthwhile update ;) If it makes you feel any better try putting a list of Vista features alongside.
- cK39, on 10/17/2007, -5/+16Madness?
- nakani, on 10/17/2007, -0/+10Hey, they gots ta get they pretty on
- pierrefilms, on 10/17/2007, -0/+9Why does this need to be a ground breaking upgrade to have to charge for it? Sorry, but you don't see MS service packs offering 300+ new features. Maybe 300+ patches with some features sprinkled in...thats what SP2 was. Just because they don't give it a brand new name each time doesn't mean it's not a major update. Time Machine, Spaces, the new Finder, etc. It's also now 64-bit from the ground up. These are not little feature updates.
- vertinox, on 10/17/2007, -0/+9In Mac land its called plugging up a two button mouse to your computer. They work out of the box.
- ChromaVita, on 10/17/2007, -4/+13Command+C and Comand+V don't work for you?
Command+C and Comand+V don't work for you?
Command+C and Comand+V don't work for you?
Command+C and Comand+V don't work for you?
Works for me... - themastersb, on 10/17/2007, -1/+10I thought it was going to be the 26th. Not the 19th
- betobeto, on 10/17/2007, -2/+11That's marketing 101 for ya buddy. Something Apple certainly excels at.
