How about ZFS write support and proper integration with Time Machine?

Nothing to do with ZFS anyway Fri, 25 Jan 2008 20:06:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (tonywob) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?297874 http://osnews.com/thread?297874 http://macscoop.com/articles/2008/01/20/mac-os-x-10-5-2-update-brin...

Comments http://osnews.com/thread?297902 http://osnews.com/thread?297902 ZFS will be available at some point in time, but we're still waiting for Quartz 2 Extreme, etc. to be fixed and become a user default.

Apple are slowly fixing some rather major issues now. I'd love for the firewall to work 100 % correctly.

Still, we can see where their support goes, as a Blizzard game was getting attention once again through bug fixes in graphics drivers.

It is a per-application function that needs to be enabled explicitly by the software writer as there are some performance penalties in some scenarios.

Regarding ZFS; right now write functionality (and other features) is still in beta, I doubt they would add boot capabilities to a later 10.5 retail refresh, so I'd say its a wait till 10.6.

But please let it be that we can set the menu transparency too, not just the _menubar_ transparency. Leopard is a nice step forward in most ways, but what's with all the misplaced transparency in a lot of places?

Transparent menus are not only less clear and more ugly, they are a great way to show off your Mac Book (Pro)'s less-than-16 million color dithered screen to all your friends. Sun, 27 Jan 2008 13:45:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Gorgak) Comments
