- kittell, on 10/10/2007, -6/+141*one remaining KNOWN bug.
- flipmeat, on 10/10/2007, -6/+100Let's see how this article fares two weeks after release. One bug, my foot.
- kf6zql, on 10/10/2007, -5/+70I just submitted 2 bugs today... guess they fixed them beforehand.
- csixty4, on 10/10/2007, -1/+64Of course. They used the Time Machine feature.
- raw10, on 10/10/2007, -2/+41Everything else is..... A FEATURE!
- 4ndr3w, on 10/10/2007, -2/+41Software can never be bug free. If I remember correctly, Windows is allowed to ship with some bugs still there, and I have no doubt Leopard will ship with bugs.
It's new software people. - TannerC, on 10/10/2007, -3/+40Rawr.
- Grogtron, on 10/10/2007, -3/+33One remaining KNOWN bug that they're not willing to SHIP with.
I wouldn't be surprised if their actual internal database is still north of 10 thousand. - sockpuppets, on 10/10/2007, -2/+31If it's a cockroach they're screwed.
- metateck, on 10/10/2007, -0/+28Did you actually think you could post php code and make it execute?
- ElbridgeGerry, on 10/10/2007, -0/+25We got the release date at WWDC.
- trogdoor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22No project has no bugs, and no project of this size has even no known bugs.
When OS X is released it will mean only that there are no known bugs which are by whatever criteria deemed to be unnacceptable for a released product, nothing more. - BarbaraKolbe, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20October 1 or October 31?
- astrosmash, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17The Leopard RC only has one "show stopping" bug left.
There are thousands of "known" bugs, in both Tiger and Leopard, as there will be in any massively large software product. - CraigJ, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17All production software ships with known bugs, but these are generally of the low severity, low priority (not expected to be encountered frequently) It is statistically impossible to remove all the bugs from modern software. This must be a high severity issue. No way there is only one outstanding defect.
- Dotdotdot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17That's not what people said about Windows Vista...
- kf6zql, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18Audio cuts out on a macbook pro after about 3 seconds of having it set. Turn it up, 3 seconds later it mutes. Every single time. I would consider that significant.
- Angostura, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18It's a Mach kernel with BSD wrapping. At least try to get your flamebait roughly correct, eh?
- uptown, on 10/10/2007, -9/+24It only runs on Apple computers.....
- Arctirus, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18Buried as inaccurate. There is no OS with only 1 bug.
- sp1keNARF, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15you just have to ensure that you and another million people buy them at the same time, then flood the internet with whiny stories when they're updated in two months, and jobs will give you a $750 apple store credit.
- saleens281, on 10/10/2007, -3/+17How about the whole "applications automatically dock themselves and cannot be used without a reboot" bug? I don't see it mentioned, it definitely isn't fixed, and it definitely is a showstopper.
- buggedcom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13name one commenting system that does.
- zerplex, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14super sweet video chat here i come.
- bias, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15OMG the first and only bugfree operating system or software finally arrive soon.
- hadiz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Let's hope this release coincides with some new macbooks
- Jeffler, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Hope no, believe yes.
- 83457, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11There will always be bugs
- tempusrob, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8What the bloody hell are you talking about?
- hotfreelancer, on 10/10/2007, -5/+13I wonder when the launch date will be...I am looking at buying an apple laptop
- d00d, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Thank god. There's at least one other person on Digg that ACTUALLY understands software development.
I was beginning to fear that only the teens were left here. - xaxxon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6plus you'll have to pay a 15% restocking fee
- aliguana, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5even Tiger, which has been out for what.. keeps having updates. Leopard will come out, then an update, then another, then another... same as every other OS since the beginning of computing.
- z3r0c0O1, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Can't wait to get it.
- evildorko, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5pretty minimal. Usually when a new OS comes out, they just include a copy of the OS disc to upgrade until stock runs out and they produce them with the OS installed...
- jtown, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I think he's sitting on it.
- threemagic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6as a co-worker of mine says to me when I try pre-release and just released software:
point oh, just say no - yabos, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4bugreport.apple.com
- Me1000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4the last friday in october!
- kevnaca, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6October 31st is likely (or 30th considering that's a Tuesday)
Apple tends to take their time, which is a good thing when speaking of a new OS. - afx1, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5ok maybe
- Kyan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Whoa, hold on there! Who changed his underwear?
- uptown, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Buy something from a store with no return penalty until Leopard comes out......
- trogdoor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I think that Tex ( Tex != LaTeX ) is a slightly smaller code base than the entirety of OS X and its bundled Applications.
- Firehed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I hate it when people say "no" software has no bugs. There's an extremely high likelihood that a product of any decent size has bugs, but I wouldn't expect to find a lot of problems in "Hello World!".
- Firehed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Yeah, but people will find any reason to hate on Microsoft. It wouldn't have mattered either way.
- trogdoor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4"I for one, will be happy to purchase an OS that has 0 known bugs on launch-day."
What OS to you plan to buy, because that certainly can't be said of OS X ( nor any non-embedded OS ) - Ireland, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Yeah, but why release only that one remaining bug, surely the OS would be a better choice? ;)
- Stirk, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Leopard has plenty of under the hood improvements.
I'm really looking foreword to 64 bit and 32 bit apps side by side. This is really going to launch mac users into the 64 bit age -
