I cant wait, im soo excited, im in the computer lab at school and i just went to apple.com and i just screamed YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#273104

now im getting kicked out... ill be back later

#273105

gar!!! MICROSOFT takes so long for a new operating system!!! lol :P

#273106

Snazzy.

I like the new menu bar for the OS X area of the site.

Wow! Only £58 for the education version. Split 50/50 between me & my bro = a new OS for £30. Not shabby at all!

#273112

And the ****ty interface remains :( - Yes, even in Mail.app

#273113

True, the mail interface is ugly. I'm just in it for automator and conference call video chat. Oh, and the fact that quicksilver will only run on Tiger after beta 40.

#273119

i prefer panther for now.

mail is true ugly.

this is not a new os afterall.

it's just a sort of addon.

shapeshifter is going to rule when tiger comes out

Don't want to argue but... XP is just a layer of Win 2000 ;)

What ever, I can't wait to receive mine.... That will rocks.... About mail, I like the way it looks even if I prefer the current mail app.

Great day....

#273141

Exactly ludge - The only thing i am really looking forward too (tried it already, my God!) is automator.

I will hold on to panther for a little while first until every single one of my fav programs are Tiger friendly ;) - that and the fact that I can't get it here in Dubai (yet)

#273147

i don"t care zenzen i'm on osx.

:)

#273155

tigertigertiger.... grrr..... can't freakin' wait.

what news, if any, of a speed bump over panther?

#273158

tigertigertiger.... grrr..... can't freakin' wait.

what news, if any, of a speed bump over panther?

Many people I've talked to that have installed the most recent build of tiger say that there is a most definate speed bump: apps open quicker, and theres a general speediness with Tiger ;D

#273161

Great news!!

I am really happy to hear that.

Does someone know if there will be a low upgrade price for those who bought their macs recently? I mean in the last 2-3 months...

Mail is freaking uggly, I hope someone will do a skin to bring the old interface back!

what about the release date? I am not sure.

Does this mean we can order it now and receive it on april 29th or that we can order it and it will be shipped after april 29th?

#273178

Hell has froze over!!

CURSE THEM.

I would be really happy, I would, but the redo of Mail distroys it all.

Question: So, umm, there is a new version of Quicktime, right? And Apple did a port of Quicktime to Windows, and then after years later, also did it for iTunes. We all know how a wonderful job Apple did with Quicktime in contrast to iTunes. Does this mean that they will put the same amount of tender, love and care into the QT port? I hope so.

#273179

This mail.app looks more like a windows app, it's a shame

#273182

aite.....i just thought that they will change the theme again............grrrr. but, it is a good release. long before longhorny. :) makes mac even much more better.

#273195

what about the release date? I am not sure.

Does this mean we can order it now and receive it on april 29th or that we can order it and it will be shipped after april 29th?

I've ordered it and it says shipment by the 29th.

#273202

I heard that for Panther release, people which ordered on AppleStore received their panther 1 or 2 days before the official release.....

I'll have to wait till May 3rd or 4th.... You'll play crash test dummies for us.... :-D

#273208

if i wait to get it at the apple store

will they actually have them instock? or will they just be "sold out" or not arrived yet?

#273217

I've ordered it and it says shipment by the 29th.

Thanks Ludge

#273218

Mail looks awesome except for the capsule-buttons. They ugly :/

#273264

man apple is getting very disorganized :(

the new mac os x page is ugly...that white glow makes it look like a n3wb photoshop job...and wtf why do they sometimes use a glossy spotlight icon and sometimes a matte one? they've got too many styles in os x now: aqua, brushed, platinum and buttons types aqua, sunken, plastic, gel et al which makes it look worse and worse. hopefully once shapeshifter and APEs work w/ tiger, someone'll make a theme that looks like 8A294--that was my favorite GUI out of all of them for Tiger

but i still will get it b/c the new features are amazing :)

#273267

The new GUI is probably is a taste to get used to. IMO, it's not all that bad. At least it's still usable and easy on the eyes. :)
