Get Ready to Upgrade That Mac OS

Newspaper current event by markmcb on 08 June 2007, tagged as computing

Most everyone knows that Apple's OS X 10.5 is coming out this fall. On Monday, Steve Jobs is expected to reveal several of the features of the new OS at the annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. Unlike most upgrades though, this one may prove to be an "upgrade or die" OS as it will present several features that simply will not have any easy way for developers to offer backward-compatible support.

One developer was quoted in a Wired article referring to Apple's new Core Animation as saying, "Our customers are going to have to upgrade their OS if they want to upgrade our program," Shipley says. "We realized any app we released based on Tiger (the current version of OS X) was going to look really pathetic when Leopard came out."

With such drastic changes ahead, it will be interesting to see if the Mac community loyally upgrades as they have in the past, or if the slow sales of Vista are inevitable.

I've gone to the Apple website a few times to see the Leopard Sneak Preview but they don't list what the minimum system requirements are going to be. I really hope it will run on my older Apple Cube!
