AInc need a miracle to beat this...

I just got my hands (paws?) on Mac OS X Leopard. I'd had a few brief previews of earlier versions but I have to say the final version is REALLY nice. It's not just all fluff and eye-candy over the same old crap like Vista, it really is a newer, better OS X version. I already feel at home.

Now if Bill McEwan is gonna produce an Amiga OS that beats this he's really, REALLY going to have to try harder don't you think? How does he hope to even compete?

How does he hope to even compete?

Delusion  :-?

[A1260]

don't worry bill mcewen will deliver!

[Amigamia]

Unless he delivers a baby I don't think I am going to be impressed by anything else he delivers.

[Amiduffer]

I don't think Bill could beat an egg.  :roll:

OS5 is bills baby!

Every parent thinks their baby is beautiful.  Even if its missing appendages and is grossly disfigured.

[guru-666]

somebody made that joke last year and got banned.  It's going to be hard for OS5 to beat OS10!

[TheMagicM]

Bill always delivers!  

EDIT: My bad, I thought it was about Bill Buck.  So no, McEwen will fail.

[little]

Even if Leopard was lame, even if Vista was even lamer, even if Linux got really bloated I do not see how Bill McEwen could pull a brand new operative system that bets long stablished ones. He is no Steve Jobs, He is no Bill Gates, hell is not even a Nolan Bushnell; if he were a horse you could bet he would be dead last on all races.
:horse:

Small teams are proved to work better than larger teams.but anyway, i do not think that bill could deliver

I haven't had the time to explore Leopard yet. All I know is I hate what they've done with the interface.

What mac do you have? I have a 1.5GHz g4 powerbook(1.5GB ram), and the switch from 10.3 to 10.4 left my system kind of pokey. I'm afraid to try out Leopard on it.

I bet if AOS5 ever rolls out, it's going to be some quasi linux system with a bunch of DE crap on it and an emulation layer for the older stuff.

That guy (pierre) didn't get banned for making that "joke"; taking the 5 is less than X=10 comparison literally for over 10 posts in one topic started by him isn't exactly funny IMHO. When people replied he started trolling and insulting people and got a well deserved ban for it.

Re: the better than OS10 comment. That is totally one persons opinion, and of course controversial statements  get the buzz going. Much more interesting than saying "It's better than O3.9 and the Boing Bag"

I mean here we are talkin about it.

Yep, 's about the only gripe I do have. I've already hacked it to disable the glass shelf dock (Apple put a plain black transparent dock in it for the left and right side, and you can switch the bottom one to this via a command at the terminal ). The semi-transparent menu bar is irritating as hell too, I hope someone finds a hack for that too.

Overall however I'm truly impressed by it. I was a bit down after upgrading from Panther (10.3) to Tiger (10.4) because I didn't think Tiger offered enough extra stuff that I found useful. Going from Tiger to Leopard (10.5) feels much more like the kind of leap you should make when you move to a major new version. I already can't live without Spaces, and Time Machine makes me feel like my data is at least somewhat safer

Like I said - AInc would need a genuine Miracle to beat this kind of OS.
