steve22 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/launchd/changeset/23583 Build 10a41 spotted. Since the builds of Leopard started with 9a*** this is obviously 10.6 Do you think we'll see a preview at WWDC (early June) ~Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Couldn't that be fake? But probably most likely real. Oh no...now what I need is people starting to install 10.6 when I have just gotten 10.5 to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numberzz Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 No no pcwiz, didn't you hear, they released 10.6 yesterday and 10.7 today. He MUST be talking about 10.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(MoC) Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I hope that they don't start to super-speed releases these days. They just transitioned with an already quick OS map and nobody thought it would ever get quicker. Unfortunately it did or possibly did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvheeswijk Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 i hope they change a lot of things when (maybe next year or over two years) 10.6 will be released. 1 do things like in ubuntu 7.10 (with all the app switching etc.) 2 make te windows aero (or something like that) 3 make something really nice out of the dock 4 mac ik boot faster (tiger is faster then leopard, but leopard is faster when it's running (in my oppinion) \ what about ya'll???

Lkr Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I spy the letters 'ppc' I for one like the 18 month release schedule, seems about right for minor upgrades at $120? I think it should be $60 AT MOST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numberzz Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Everyone in this thread: there is absolutely no way that anyone will have any information or any build of Mac OS X 10.6 because WWDC is coming up. That is when teh torrents will have their share of Leopard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 You would be really naive to think Steve Jobs is gonna show any type of code running 10.6 this June... If they ever get something running, that surely won't be stable enough to even show one screen (or it'll be the same GUI as Leopard, just like the old Leopard builds were using the Tiger GUI). Leopard has just been out, give them a break ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leopard has just been out, give them a break ! It will be 4 months before a whole year will have passed, and Microsoft did some interesting things in Windows 7.0 In one full year (and all of us know they are a little sluggish.) Theres a chance that Steve may have something to share, they will be 8 months in with 10 left until the next release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embio Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 for minor upgrades at $120? I think it should be $60 AT MOST. I said release schedule, not pricing It would make sense for Apple to show us 10.6 at WWDC08, and then again at WWDC09, with release 6 months afterwards, thats roughly what happened with Leopard.....

hellogoodbye Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 The most Steve might do in June is announce the name of 10.6, as he did with Leopard the WWDC right after Tiger was released. We probably won't see any functioning previews of the OS until 2009 and a release in 2010 or 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idividebyzero Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Are people new to OS X or what? Its not windows where it takes years to develop. A new .x version comes out around every year. Do not expect .6 to be a major update like .5 was, I think it is extremely likely that they will show 80% or more of what .6 has to offer at WWDC. .6 probably wont have anything too amazing, hopefully it will get rid of aqua once and for all but I wouldnt hold my breath, theyll probably just add a couple new useless features while expanding on things like front row and spaces/time machine.

Steve actually announced a few years ago that OS X's release cycle would slow down to about every 18-24 or 24-30 months (I don't recall which one). 10.6 won't be release for at least 2 years from right now, if not till the end of 2010 or 2011. In the beginning, yes, OS X was released almost on a yearly basis, but if you look at the distances between the releases, they have been increasing steadily over time and should peak at the time it took between Tiger and Leopard. Also, there's no real prediction for how "major" a release of OS X will be. However, there will never be such thing as a release like 10.1, which you seem to be predicting 10.6 will be. If you look at all the OS X releases except for 10.1, they have all been relatively major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve22 Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 Mac OS X Panther was released on October 24, of 2003 and in June 2004 on WWDC they already previewed Tiger. Looking at the dates, it looks like they'll do the same this year. "Steve Jobs spoke with the New York Times about Leopard, saying that this latest release of OSX would form the basis for another cycle of continuous operating system upgrades, which could last as long as a decade. “I’m quite pleased with the pace of new operating systems every 12 to 18 months for the foreseeable future,” said Jobs. “We’ve put out major releases on the average of one a year, and it’s given us the ability to polish and polish and improve and improve.”" BTW: Build 34 was just mentioned: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/launchd/changeset/23563 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ongeloof Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I hope they announce at least a name at WWDC, as i can not wait to know! it would also put an end to some of the speculation threads floating around. Think Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, and it does contradict what I've said. I guess if Steve talks about 10.6 any more than announcing its name in June, it'll tell us how soon it will be released.

Ongeloof Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Will AMD macs ever be real? Obviously they are in existence and real mac at Apple HQ, in the "What If" section, but will they ever be released as a a mainstream product?

I'm running 10.5.2 on both my machines (it used to say 10.4). It should show that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
