그래서 Apple가 새로운 Snow Leopard(OSX 10.6)가 사전 설치된 13인치 Macbook Pro를 보내서 새로운 OS 업그레이드가 어떻게 작동하는지 확인할 수 있게 했습니다.

실제로 레오파드(10.5)만 설치된 유닛을 받고, 스노우 레오파드를 개인이 설치할 수 있는 디스크에 넣어 얻고 싶었습니다. 이렇게 하면 스노우 레오파드로 업그레이드하기 전에 레오파드를 먼저 테스트해 보고 차이를 확인하거나 개선된 점을 느낄 수 있습니다.

일부 사람들은 스노우 레오파드가 전체 OS 업데이트라기보다 서비스 팩에 가깝다고 말합니다. 이는 10.5와 10.6 사이에 큰 외관상의 차이가 없기 때문일 수 있습니다.

David Pogue(NYT)와 같은 대형 리뷰어들의 초기 리뷰는 John C. Dvorack와 Leo Laporte와 같은 사람들의 많은 비판을 받았으며(그때 Snow Leopard에 대한 호기심/관심을 갖게 됐음) 하지만 이는 언론인/블로거들의 공개와 이해 상충에 관한 또 다른 이야기다.

어쨌든, 이 장비를 시도해 본 뒤 뭔가를 올릴 수 있기를 바랍니다. 맥을 가지고 계신 분들은 이미 업데이트를 마치셨을 테니, 맥을 사용하지 않는 저희 같은 사람들을 위한 내용에만 집중하겠습니다. :D

i have the 15″ macbook pro and it’s the best. mac’s os is definitely superb.

kredite · 16 years ago

Do you think I should buy apple shares now, or is it too late?

Katz · 17 years ago

I’ve finally decided to get a real Mac with Leopard. Even if Hackintosh sounds cool.

The Teknisyan · 17 years ago

wow… a Mac.. big mac?!!! :)

yeah… apple is basically a hardware company… they just use software as a leverage to sell more hardware.. that’s why their sofware only runs on their hardware!

it’s like their business plan is..
“No hardware, no software”

irv · 17 years ago

Apple is mainly a hardware company, not a software company.

That’s their business model. OS X is a means to sell their computers.

domainator · 17 years ago

to each his own :) comments should be for real mac users only. Havent tried snow but based on reviews across the web, it doesnt cut much on the former OS. Seems to be a service pack, im happy with leopard for now

@august, i started doing hackintosh years ago when Apple started supporting intel procs. Thing is this hackintosh project subliminally pushes you to buy an apple product hehe. I just did, their is no substitute for a real thing. But hey im still running final cut on a gigabyte mobo under 10.5.6 and smokes out the quad core at my office. If others cant afford a mac, then hackintosh is really the way to go for the “experience”

cheers amigos, keep it cool :)

@Neobux

allow me to slap your face with this …

HAHAHAHAHAHA and giggles

and oh just to let you know, apple isn’t the only company who can create hardwares just for OSX if only apple share their patented technology (well it is patented for selfish reasons). ever heard of 3rd party developers? maggot intuition? what the heck are you talking about?! stop using the “s” word, you are only embarrassing yourself my friend.

“AN” smiley? i rest my case

Neobux · 17 years ago

@August

An smiley can’t hide your stupidity. If MAC had the sane reason to do that, wouldn’t they have done so in the past decade. Seriously, do you even think? Your maggot intuition makes me giggle. For starters, look up on the definition of an OS kernel, dumbass :D

angelo · 15 years ago

When apple promote the “think different”. they should really apply it to their company. right now they still thinking the same. same monopoly tactics. why promote something that they can’t do. yeah call me stupid. but that is the question that goes on my mind. and Im a mac user.

August · 17 years ago

@ Neobux – look who’s trolling. think out of the box loser! :D

Neobux · 17 years ago

@August

Troll.

August · 17 years ago

i agree with jhay. can’t OSX be modified for other devices, huh neobux?

Neobux · 17 years ago

@Jhay

I’m not so sure you know what you’re talking about. The OSX is specifically made for MAC Hardware. You’re simply promoting your once-again stupid ideas.

angelo · 15 years ago

Jhays idea is not actually stupid, telling someone that their idea is stupid doesn’t actually make you intelligent but makes you the stupid one. its like people saying Einstein on his day. on now people look up on him.

Why apple does make macosx available to clone? because they can’t do that. they lost on software war. and steve jobs already accepted it. microsoft with it huge partnership with hardware vendor give them the edge. but jobs is just plain a**holy attitude make partnership with apple too hard and not profitable.

Miguel · 17 years ago

@Jhay
they won’t be able to certify all the possible combinations of hardware and software – even on Apple-owned and controlled platforms, there are issues with NVidia vs ATI, etc.

and of course, Jobs wants to control everything!

Jhay · 17 years ago

Why don’t Apple just sell OSX to everyone and not just Mac (hardware) users? This would certainly give Windows some serious competition.

Erin · 17 years ago

If im not mistaken, OSX has a BSD lineage. If so “derived from Unix” but not a “LINUX version”.

The Free OS Software philosophy is about freedom and not price. Everything has an associated cost.

ciao!

manong · 17 years ago

MAC OS is the most successful LINUX version (both derived from UNIX)…

there goes the free OS movement… buy este bye!

Adrian · 17 years ago

room mate ko bumili din ng ganyan. astig yung snow leopard. btw i’m using leopard right now and makikita naman talaga ang difference ng dalawa.

Nono Felipe · 17 years ago

Just to avoid confusion – Snow Leopard is a 64-bit OS however by default it runs a 32-bit kernel upon boot. To boot into a 64-bit kernel, use the procedure stated above.

Nono Felipe · 17 years ago

Since you’re on the latest Apple hardware, use it in 64-bit mode to get the most out of it. When you see the apple logo at boot, hold down “6” and “4” to boot into 64-bit mode.

Enjoy!

Mac is cool but it is very expensive so I opted to buy a High-end Gateway Laptop with Powerful Specs. By the way, I like the way you took the pictures and the quality of it.
