It also includes Safari 3.
Mac Classic apps will no longer run, even if you have a PPC based Mac.
The support files will happily install from a 10.4 CD but that doesn't
help. And those were some really good Classic applications too. That was....
a bummer.
Oh, man, I'm really tripping out. Wow, that CoverFlow view combined
with the search function can reveal all kinds of weird shit you have
on your hard drive. These graphics happen to be 3d model skins for jDoom
I had copied on to the drive. It's bizarre seeing these raw graphics just
fly across the screen. (And they display with PNG transparency too!)
Finally, shutting down Mac OS 10.5
Over all, Apple did make many improvements and added plenty of new cool
stuff, but I was really hoping that with this major release Apple would
take the time to fix some of the smaller issues and inconsistencies in
Mac OS.
The Mac OS X finder still can't Cut and Paste files. There is a menu
option for "Cut", but it is never enabled. Very annoying when trying to
move stuff to or from a different drive. It is perfectly capable of doing
that - dragging and dropping to the same drive performs a move, and dragging
and dropping to a different drive while holding down the Command key on
the KEYBOARD also performs a move.
I stopped putting up with that "copy then delete" nonsense back in the
prehistoric DOS days using Power Menu's File
Manager. I would just select the files, go to the new directory, and
choose "File" then "Move". Saved me lots of headaches back in the day.
And this was before DOS even had a Move command.
Deleting stuff dragged out of the Dock still doesn't make sense, but
more importantly there is still no way to undo! How hard can it possibly
be to add an "undo remove from dock"?
Still, it beats Vista, but let's see how long it takes Microsoft to
blatantly rip off the new features of Mac OS.
