I decided to test by myself what Windows 7 looks like and must say that I wasn't excited. I tried to be neutral but I can't get away from the feeling that all these flashes and lights are so aggressive and inappropriate.

I know that it can be the war of tastes however I won't state that win 7 is smth extraordinary and innovative. Funny thing but windows 7 makes me like Leopard even more and use XP as an alternative OS. Now I have stronger feeling why people tend to stay at XP - xp did its job.

Kawsie, if it worked like that, we'd all be using DOS.

u still do all it is being both mac and windows is dos based with a shell

Amiga os is gui from ground up-main reason and superb architecture -truly -thats its so small -6megs rue real time multitasking true 64bit -modular

New generation of Macintosh OS-X "Snow Leopard" to suport Cocoa Finder and ImageBoot


" Apple next-generation Snow Leopard operating system will introduce a massive re-write of the Mac OS X Finder and debut a new feature called ImageBoot.

Cocoa-based Finder

People familiar with matter say the Finder, which currently stands as one of the oldest Carbon-based applications in the Mac OS portfolio, has been completely re-written in the company's native object-oriented application program environment called Cocoa.

Apple has reportedly tapped select members of its developer community to begin testing the updated graphical file system manager as part of a new pre-release copy of Snow Leopard belonging to the build train 10Axxx. In addition, many of the Apple-authored applications accompany the new build are also said to have been wrapped completely in Cocoa.

Microsoft Exchange Support

Other advances are also present in the new test software, such as broader support for Microsoft Exchange 2007 in Snow Leopard's versions of iCal, Address Book and Mail. The implementation of Exchange support remains a work in progress, according to those familiar with the matter. As such, Apple has reportedly asked that developers focus their testing efforts on a subset of Exchange capabilities, such as scheduling events in iCal, adding contacts to Address Book 5.0, and automated account configuration in Mail.

ImageBoot

When it makes its debut, likely at WWDC 2009, Snow Leopard will also introduce a new, third option for disc image-based installation called ImageBoot. Based on Apple's existing NetBoot technology, which allows Macs to boot from a remote disk over the network, ImageBoot will allow users to set up any number of disk images on a secondary partition or external drive, and then selectively boot their system from any one of those disk images at startup.

This new feature will allow users to set up a series of test environments or uniquely configured Mac OS X systems, store the bootable systems as discrete disk images, and subsequently store multiple boot targets on the same disk or partition. Currently, only one bootable Mac OS X installation can be stored on a given disk partition.

With ImageBoot, multiple NetBoot sets can be maintained locally on the same storage partition, and the user can select any one of the disk images available to boot from without having to restore or mount the disk image first. The result is a system that works similar to virtualization software such as Parallels, which can create disk images for different PC operating systems and selectively boot from any of them. The difference is that Mac OS X isn't booting up in a virtual environment; it actually boots a fully native Mac OS X system. "

'ars technica'.

Thanks for posting.It is a very useful information specially the information about ImageBoot.

Will also be rewriting the dated quicktime and giving it notable performance and compatibility (perhaps even wmv/divx out of the box)- this is important because quicktime is used extensively throughout the OS.

I, for one, hope that Apple won't be supporting Microsoft's proprietary and useless WMV, nor DivX (because it breaks the MPEG-4 standard in various ways, such as packed bitstream and avi container etc.) and Apple has no obligation to support commercial and very proprietary software products by other players like DivX and Microsoft, when Apple has already implemented and supported the MPEG-4 standard in Quicktime. It's not Apple's fault that Microsoft and DivX Inc. broke the MPEG-4 standard. What you're asking for is like saying Apple should add support for MSHTML in Safari. Why? Apple shouldn't support broken standards made by proprietary companies. Apple is doing a good job by not implementing DivX and WMV. Hopefully, Apple keeps it that way.

Other than that, I wouldn't recommend using Quicktime.

What do you think?

I think Apple is better at supporting industry and open standards than Microsoft, but Apple also has its serious flaws when it comes to quality. For example, they still haven't implemented MPEG-4 ASP in quicktime (MPEG-4 SP is very limited in quality and performance).

What I appreciate with Windows 7 is that it took Microsoft 50 years to finally add support for MPEG-4. So WMV will finally be rendered useless because now Windows natively supports MPEG-4.
