So the WWDC 2006 Keynote speach just finished and we are all left with many many questions for the coming os. My biggest question is will the new os be able to use ppc processors or not. Why not start a dicussion of questions concerning the keynote.

I'm not impressed, not by anything in the keynote. Jobs' MS bashing reached new highs and lows, and it more or less made him look like a moron fanboi. Windows Calendar's "colors aren't quite right"? WTF?!?

The biggest new feature is of couse Time Machine. It's EXACTLY the same thing as MS Volume Shadow Copy (a.k.a. Previous Versions), and it came standard with Windows Server 2003 - we use it extensively here to help avoid having to do long, intensive restores from tape. It's already standard in Vista as well. BTW, it wasn't innovative when MS did it either - it was a standard feature in VMS 20 years ago. And you know, it doesn't crash when using it in highly public situations on ANY of those other OSes, either.

The other "new" items on the web site look to be minor improvements on things OSX is already good at, which isn't a bad thing. The only one that really has a real impact as far as I can tell is Spotlight being able to index other systems. I can see a real use for that, and I forsee it showing up in Vista before long.

Oh, Cider DOES look cool, but you've really got to have a $2500+ MacPro to use it. You can almost build an equivalent gaming PC and own an iMac for that much.

yeah it was a little disappointing tbh.

mac pros are nice (and not expensive before any PC fanbois start chiming in about the price here) and i might get one just after i graduate, but leopard? meh. it's OK i guess, we'll see what the stuff 'he can't talk about' is.

Whoa, there. They ARE *expensive*. They AREN'T *overpriced*

well, i would argue that expensive and overpriced mean one and the same to me, but i just woke up

I have to hand it to Apple this time, Leopard is looking great. My favorite features are the updated Calendar + Spaces. The only bad thing is that it is really expensive.

I think they didn't get the colors quite right on the calendar, personally.

haha I have to admit the MS bashing was way over the top.

also a lot of it was downright false, too.

with the new .Net framework, dll hell is a thing of the past.

I seriously believe he's looking for a successor, just like bill gates. I'm afraid we'll see lot's more of Schiller* and less of Jobs.
* At least I hope it will be Schiller and not one of those two other guys.

The microsoft bashing thing done by someone who has a terrible french accent is just .....WHY???!!! Geez, it almost looked like the president of sony who also didn't know how to talk english.

BTW It's time Microsoft gave a keynote about how apple stole their x64 idea, Microsoft was first in this.**
**I know Microsoft wasn't first with an x64 system, i believe it was dec alpha, but apple wasn't first with widgets, they stole it from konfabulator and are now blaming microsoft from stealing the widgets idea.

Vista 2 LoL

Well, it's happened: Leopard is leaking.
