Star 'Apple's Leopard Leaps to New Heights'
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Fri 26th Oct 2007 05:36 UTC
Mac OS X "What's new in Leopard? A lot. From the unified interface (goodbye, brushed aluminum) to major under-the-hood changes, to wholly new apps, Leopard is a substantial, albeit evolutionary, advance for Mac OS X that builds on a solid foundation and adds a modicum of eye candy to reinforce the notion that this is something new and improved. It's also fast - especially impressive given the new graphics sprinkled throughout the OS."

when you listen to Thom, Leopard is just a SP for Mac OS X.
when you listen to Eugenia, Leopard has major changes...


Duffman, I should mod you for nonsense, but it's much more fun to have you fall on your bottom:

"Definitely true. It's ridiculous to compare Apple's .x releases with Windows service packs."

Obviously you can't. He's not off topic, nor he's using offensive language. It is good to know though criteria you use to mod down people.

Secondo tempo, taken out of context, that quote doesn't have any relevance because the original poster said :

Microsoft Service packs are nothing more than bugs fixes and some features improvements, which is exactly what Apple does with their 10.x.x releases

Spot the difference? .x.x , not quite .x

Thom's quote is prefectly relevant - it's him commenting that Leopard contains major changes and should not be compared to a service pack in rebuttal to Duffman claiming that Thom considers leopard a SP.

Because Windows Vista is a much bigger release than any of the OS X .x releases.


When I take a look at Leopard changes under the hood (kernel, UNIX certification, dtrace, sandbox, obj-c 2.0, new TCP IP stack, scripting bridges, etc...) I am sorry but your statement *is* wrong.

The kernel changed possibly more in Leopard than in Vista which is based on the windows 2003 server.

Sure I change your words, but just to enlight that between 2 authors on OSnews, there will be very different point of view.
