Maxintosh Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Apple wouldn't just drop PPC support without a good reason They have a good reason, it's called 64-bit. Snow Leopard is geared toward business users, something no PPC could ever do as well. You'll also see Apple taking longer between new versions.

Maxintosh Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Really? It might work for you then. Personally I don't think Apple is going to say that a Intel processor is a requirement for 10.6, BUT I DO think they'll list 64-bit systems. Time will tell.

You'll also see Apple taking longer between new versions. 64-bit is probably not the reason. As was pointed out, the G5s were 64 bit. In addition, the early Intel Core Duos were 32 bit.

caracols Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Snow Leopard is geared toward business users No way, Snow Leopard is Apple's way of patching their current os and saying "we're sorry" for {censored} up Leopard in such stupid fields like completely fuxoring opengl on it. Go ahead and try any VBO related operation on a i.e 8800GT Mac Pro, VBOs are stupidly broken, osx 10.5 is NOT despite what apple says opengl 2.0 compliant (with all that means). And this is only a slight example of things that aren't working properly. Can I hear someone screaming samba out there? oh yes like a thousand servers.

Maxintosh Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 No way, Snow Leopard is Apple's way of patching their current os LOL. Take your meds. Your biases aside, it seems I'm not the only one who feels this way Judging from initial accounts, the next version of the Mac OS X, named Snow Leopard, will be aimed squarely at business and enterprise users, signaling a formal push by Apple to take Windows head on outside the consumer and education markets. "Apple is taking the Mac OS one step closer to the enterprise," says Michael Gartenberg, an analyst at Jupiter Research. ~Macworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbetts Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 6 year cycle,...took them 6 years, to finally move to intel cpu's take them 6 years, to maybe realease the osx for intel pc's it's only over 6 billion people and growing , ... and hardware is not where they make their profit, not even the little finger need to give them a buzz, a couple ideas,... couple billions here, couple hunderd there,.... who cares, apple don't, maybe start buying up all the shares,.... then as shareholders, we'd get invited to meetings,.... bring lots of carrots,.... To run Mac Os X Leopard, you need a Mac. The hardware is how they make money, the Ipod, the Iphone, all hardware. Software side, Itunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caracols Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 LOL. Take your meds. Your biases aside, it seems I'm not the only one who feels this way Oh, you and some asshat have FEELINGS about something, while i'm giving you facts straight from people coding on osx, wow. Do you think apple are pulling a whole new revision of their os in less than year because of a "bussiness approach" LOL yeah I'll take my meds while you go `feeling` away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewNZ Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Completely different. MS didn't achieved this when there was another entrenched OS and Office product with 90%+ of the market share. Really? What about Apple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxintosh Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Oh, you and some asshat have FEELINGS about something, while i'm giving you facts LOL If by 'facts' you mean biased opinions then OK. Hope those meds kick in soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
