Take Apple’s Mac OS X Leopard guided tour here.
I’m running it now and it is the best thing ever.
Trust me, you will love it.
MW= class. as in it’s in a class all on it’s own.
I love these animal documentaries!
I’m going to get the popcorn. Be right back? Can I get anyone anything while I’m up?
I would love some smarties and a beer. Thanks
I’m running it now and it is the best thing ever.
Oh yea, my laptop PC is so much zippier now, and a cool refeshing matte screen. Under $1000 and a 3 year warranty too.
See you Macheads beat that with a Apple branded box.
MDN Word “year” How appropriate.
Junior Mints please. Thx!
Smarties, beer and Junior Mints. Got it. There’s beef jerky and a hooker in the freezer if you need a snack while I’m out. Check the “Born On” date just to be safe.
this video should come prw loaded on all iPods.
“OS X.5”?
I looked that up. It said the reference is an indication of illiteracy.
“MDN Word “year” How appropriate.”
No. No. No. It’s “refeshing”.
Idiot.
Dex – I want some Cheetos, too. The crunchy ones, please. And your frozen hooker’s Born On date isn’t an issue with me.
Seriously, though — that “large” 380 MB download will look good on my Apple TV. Why don’t they brand it as an “Apple TV download” on the page?
A Shoeman by any other name still stinks.

how do you think they pay to develop that great os you stole?
I’ve placed two separate orders – just in case one of them is defective.
One question: will I get an iMovie 08 Timeline with this?
Is it really going to take a couple of hours for the upgrade? I heard that transferring files from my old computer to another would take forever, and it was nowhere near that.
@OS X.5 on PC…boy, are you sure gonna need that 3 year warranty…can you say long-term ROI? I didn’t think so!
@Follower
you are so right!
and why do they not have it in iTunes as a podcast ??? I just spent time to DL, and it “failed to compress”
did you DL ? and did it need converting to play on your AppleTV ?
it seems any video Apple puts out, they would make available thru iTunes, for us early adapters!
I’m weary of doing that whole transfer thing for the following reason: After a while, your hard drive gets all gummed up and needs a fresh install, as in, zapping the hard drive, even writing zeros, and then proceeding with the install. I like to do it once a year and it absolutely increases performance on my PB G4 17″ 1.67.
So, unless you’re highly unskilled when it comes to saving your own files while you zap your hard drive and reinstalling them after you install Leopard, yeah, stick with the transfer tool. It IS an incredible tool nonetheless.
Theft is never OK. Dude you are a LOOSER!
Mac mini with AppleCare = $748
Samsung 204BW 20″ Widescreen LCD Monitor = $240
Total = $988, with matte screen and 3-year warranty. Plus it’s got something your PC doesn’t, which is supported hardware for OS X. And better karma because the OS isn’t pirated

Next?
I think you mean a LOSER…
Just because he steals OSes, doesn’t mean he has a “morally casual attitude”, i.e., someone that you can screw on the first date.
Would this guy be the mysterious John Appleseed?? :-O
the desktop sharing in ichat is going to be a lifesaver! I can now fix my dad’s parallels XP virtual machine from anywhere!
More Nicole!! Less dorky guy!!!!!
The zooming in and out cant be more painful to watch than that. They should’ve just use highlighter or make it much faster instead of slowly zooming in like that.
I have high expectations for Leopard, higher than for Tiger which I wasn’t too excited about. Unlike Tiger, Leopard appears to be a complete modern operating system, the architectural kinks are worked out, and all the necessary Core components in place and accessible in ways that are attractive to casual users, Windows users, enterprise and developers. Combined with the post-Intel transition/BootCamp atmosphere of strong gains in market share along with the support and marketing implications that come with that, I’m really expecting this release to be pretty solid right out of the gate. This is obviously going to be the biggest retail launch in Apple’s history. They’re gonna want things to go as smoothly as possible for the most users possible.
So basically what I’m saying is it would be nice if I didn’t have to archive and install.
