Just for the record.... Who's copying who?? Longhorn had fast searching long before Tiger came out. Outlook has had all the useful features being added to Mail and iCal. This…

Apple is pretty innovative and are probably really pushing hard now since the upgrade to Intel and the MS announcement of a major "new" operating system. Vista is going to need go…

He must've meant Windows XP, since Windows XP brought Fast User Switching before Mac OS (Panther?).

It seems fairly obvious to me that the Leopard shown on apple.com is not giving us the full show (in addition to the fact that, you know, they *said* this wasn't all that Leopard w…

They should have changed their banners to read "Tiger 2.0." HTML E-mail bloat? Dashboard goodies? iChat backdrops? This is the best they could do? Spaces? Welcome to the part…

Personally, I like the automatic backup part and Mail's Notes feature best. Apparently the New Finder
hasn't been included yet, so there seems to be more to come. I wonder whether…

spaces looks nice, but isnt there an app out there thats just like this?

Was anybody expecting ZFS or Ogg support?

Surely developers have to sign some form of NDA!? It's only a few hours since the keynote, and I've already seen the Leopard preview, and the Mac Pro service manual on a torrent s…

Need help convincing myself I did the right thing, which I know I probably didn't in terms of value for money. But I'm rationalizing it thus... I did some calculations and the…

IF you bumped up the ram (above 2 GB), and the GPU to go along with those monster cpus, then you WILL be quite surprised at the 3D performance improvements.... if NOT, then you w…

Yes, good point, can never have enough RAM and a good GPU is a must for 3D, but for the CPU I was thinking more Final Cut than actual 3D interface manipulation (OpenGL etc). Rende…

my ideal quad xeon setup would be 19.000 euro's but i have 1000,00 to spend.

3Ghz is nice, but it should be a $400 upgrade (using Intel list prices), not $800. You can always upgrade the CPUs after AppleCare runs out, so I would have bought more RAM (but no…

I'll likely wait until the first Mac Pro speed bump, then pick up a quad 3.0GHz machine when they're the mid-range machine.

Heh... it wouldn't surprise me if Apple dropped the 3.0 and introduced a 3.4 and a 2.8.
