  1. I just cleaned out the Languages from the Get Info for Apple Mail, leaving just the English, and the application size was reduced from 298 MB to 27 MB!

    Snow Leopard’s Mail was 91 MB according to the video. Now, is that with or without the baggage of additional languages? If that were English only, then that is bloat!

  2. @clyde LOL, that’s exactly what I was thinking.

    I was kind of hoping to see some refinements – it looked like there was something about Exchange referenced in the name of the Address Book app. Other than that, all I’m seeing are different file sizes and a new checkbox referring to Rosetta.

    When are they going to FTFF? How about ZFS implenetation, isn’t that in the works?

  3. The thought of new “x.0” version numbers for apps has me drooling. Who cares what they do differently as long as we’ve got the versions up to a whole new level.

    Wait… iCal is only 3.0 in Snow Leopard? I already have 3.0.6!

  4. Release the Hounds!!!
    Grab a Whale Tail!!!
    Fire up the Club!!!
    Spin-up the Techno beats!!!
    It’s time for per Mac World Rumors and fake news.
    Were anyone can get the spotlight with nothing more then a slightly warm sliver of credibility. Who needs real sources or even a real diagram or photo, even altered old images and diagrams are good. As long as it generates traffic.

  5. Mail is less than a quarter the size than it is in Leopard. Everything else is about half the size.

    This is great space saving. Hope Apple Makes it PPC G4 Compatible. I have a 30GB iBook G4 1.2Ghz & it only has like 11GB left.. With Snow Leopard, I’d imagine it have an additional 3-6GB’s extra.

    Have 17 Inch 2Ghz Core 2 Duo iMac with 160GB. 125GB’s for Mac OS X Leopard, 24GB for Windows XP. So with all my stuff, I only have 83GB’s left in Mac OS X. With Snow Leopard, I’d imagine having 87-90GB’s. Plus all the extra’s like grand central, it will really Snap up.

    It would really suck if Apple doesn’t support G4’s, G5’s, 32 bit Core Solo’s & Core Duo’s. There’s a lot of those out there & a lot of disappointment if apple doesn’t cover them.
