Comments on: Snow Leopard? You Have Got to be Kidding Me http://baron.vc/snow-leopard-you-have-got-to-be-kidding-me/ Mon, 28 Nov 2011 08:02:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: endekks http://baron.vc/snow-leopard-you-have-got-to-be-kidding-me/comment-page-1/#comment-73022 endekks Tue, 10 Jun 2008 05:03:01 +0000 http://baron.vc/snow-leopard-you-have-got-to-be-kidding-me/#comment-73022 I am guessing the 2GB remark was a typo, as it is 20GB. Not earth-shattering for storage space or anything, but a far cry better than 2. ^___^ Also, in regards to 10.6, while I can see where you are coming from, I have to say that we Mac users have been spoiled with so many new features in each .X release. Truth be told, however, OSX is the first operating system for Apple which charges a full OS price point for each .X release. Unless I have missed a subsequent press release, we still don't know what the cost will be for 10.6 - if anything at all. 10.1 was free, if memory serves - and it was a rather new feature-poor update. Last but not lease, it is also a year away from now. When does Apple ever just release something in the form they announce a year prior? If everything occurs as you say (full price, no new features, etc.) then frustration is warranted. But we still don't know enough yet. What irks me about WWDC is the fact that we still have to wait until (probably) July 11th before we can start using the 2.0 FW with all the new apps. I was hoping that shit would be out today. I'm just glad I didn't stay up all night for the keynote. I am guessing the 2GB remark was a typo, as it is 20GB. Not earth-shattering for storage space or anything, but a far cry better than 2. ___

Not sure if that makes a huge difference, but the service itself seems pretty promising. MobileMe is promising 20GB, not 2GB (shared between e-mail and files).
