Except for the neatiest finder - ever - no big revelations. I do like everything they said and I'll be post-ponning my buy of a new mac untill they ship Leopard on all Macs. Wich means I'll be getting it in December or something. Looking forward to it!

 

Also, wonder how safari will work on Windows... But I doubt they'll really increase marketshare. The cards in the music business were different when Apple launched iTunes and they had a huge advantage over all the rest back then, but Safari isn't really a necessary switch, I guess. We'll see how it works out.

It is. i mean people only switched to opera and firefox cos they found out it was a lot faster than IE and now Safari is trumping even these browsers.

But Quicktime isn't well known for its speed on Windows.

 

Didn't say it was . . . speed isn't something that springs to mind when i think of a video player, a good browser must be able to display most content and be damn fast.

Cover Flow ain't an app, it's a way of viewing inside Finder. And Finder can do the thing you described over there.

 

I can't help but want to get my hand on Leopard nonetheless. If I'm lucky a pal of mine gets hold of it before you can say 'cheetah!'.

With all the OMG SAFARI WINDOWS going on, I'm just pointing out that Safari 3 Beta is also out for OS X. So far I've noticed you can move the tabs around finally, there's a spell checker when you input text and, it could be all in the mind, but it does seem faster.

Indeed it does, only thing that pissed me off with the beta install is that you had to restart the computer.

 

*sigh*

 

Still it does seem to be faster at nipping about the sites.

Well I think Leopard looks really cool, and I can't wait for it. I especially like the new dock and the fact that all windows are the same now instead of each one having a different style.

 

The only thing about Safari that annoyed the crap out of me... finally it asks you whether you meant to close a window with multiple tabs. There is a God.

Don't get me wrong, it looks pretty but from a usability angle, it's very poor.

 

I did find it hard to think of how you could cram all pages of yore into that navigation, but the fact is proven to me. It looks pretty damn well and people can make their way around the site. Hope the local sites get an update soon, too.
