Oops. Jordan Hubbard, Director of Apple's Unix Technology Group, made a boo boo. The slide above was pulled from the deck presented last week at the LISA (Large Installation System Administration) conference. Up until now, Apple had only been willing to say that OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard would be ready "in about a year" -- that was back in early June at WWDC. You just know that this will have Steve fuming given Apple's tight control over information. One thing is perfectly clear: the race is on for both Redmond (rumored to be shooting for a mid-2009 Windows 7 launch) and Cupertino, nobody wants to be second with their next gen OS release.

Q1 of 2009 could be April though.. If I waited to buy a Mac just to get Snow Leopard, they'd've probably already released a 3rd gen iPhone..

Will the Snow Leopard update cost £80? (I think that's how much OSX updates cost?)

but for me i have to pay for the snow loepard :(

Cant wait that long :(

I honestly wouldn't worry too much about it. Leopard is a great OS and works just fine. Snow Leopard is based more around the corporation and professional side of the Mac. If you don't already know, it upgrades to a 64 bit operating system, meaning for me video projects look sharper and cleaner, making editing that much nicer. It now has Grand Central, a wonderful processor plant, utilizes the multi-cores more efficiently and uses every power that it can bring out. There are a bunch of other little things, but honestly the most I see an average user utilizing would be the 64 bit.

But is that hardware or software upgrade?

I could buy a new MBP for Xmas and then update Snow Leopard in April or whenever and get the 64 Bit features out of it?

It's all software. To be honest, the older gen MacBooks and MBP's are all 64 bit compatible, but the OS was simply 32 bit. The new ones are too. The update will simply "turn on" the 64 bit capabilities. With Grand Central, it still uses the same cores that are included, but runs in the background to utilize them fully.

i saw this
can't wait

i thought mac osx has been 64 bit
:confused:

get a mac a few months b4 snow leopord comes out. apple will have a deal so u get it 4 $10 when i comes out. they did that when leopard came out

They aren't changing anything other than getting rid of PPC support. And leave dead threads be! use google!

it was 5 days and it was at the top of the mac osx sub-forum

Is this for sure sure sure? Or just probably? So what are the chances that Phill Schiller will talk about it on 6th Jan? Because I really want a Mac and I'm not sure if I should wait till then...

I asked my parents for a mac, and i might get it, but i dont want to have to pay to upgrade to this, when it'll be included with every mac thereafter >.<
