Star Aqua To Be Replaced with Illuminous?
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 11th Dec 2006 23:03 UTC
Mac OS X Apple website Apple Gazette is reporting rumouring that Leopard will come with an all-new interface, supposedly with lots of black glossy things (similar to Vista, indeed): "Apple Gazette has received a tip from an apple insider that the Mac OS Aqua User Interface will be replaced with a new UI named Illuminous. The source goes on to say that we will see a demonstration of Illuminous at Macworld 2007." I have never heard of this website, so I cannot make an assessment of its reliability, but suffices to say that it is highly debatable. Interesting nonetheless. Update: More info.

It will be a Vista killer.

You're wrong on that one. People still have to make a conscious decision to buy (and spend extra $$$) a Mac. Vista will be comping pre-installed in the vast majority of PC out there...

This is purely speculative and harkens to the days that ``No one got fired for buying IBM.'' Vista requirements are definitely demanding and when the Enterprise markets are holding off; and the DirectX 10 cards being on the highend you won't see it in the standard configuration without the OEM Vendor making some disclaimers about the Vista experience being limited.
