Mac unveils a few spots of Leopard

I am sure this post will be flamed..if anyone acutally reads blogs
Firstly let me say I am not a fan of Apple , but I do work with them(ppc mac mini) and I have a special relation with my pos Ipod mini (I'll keep those complaints for another post)

I am a little wary when Apple bring on the fan fare of their new OS , Leopard.
Leopard looks alot like Tiger but with a few new features. eg timemachine ichat, mail 3...weren't those last 2 in tiger??.... and other improvements.
These really only look like addons and maybe they should call leopard a service pack....?
Just like the Office programs on Windows it looks like Apple joins the $$$ club and make you pay for upgrades which really should be free.

Speaking of free..
For all the Mac people that read and create blogs, I have some questions for you
Why isn't OSX free ? as it is based on Freebsd http://www.freebsd.org/
which is under its own BSD license (similar to GPL??..i guess not)
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php

In either case whether it be free or not apple don't have a say in what is happening underground
take for example the most informative website
http://www.osx86project.org/
Since apple started using x86 processors the x86 version of osx has been floating around, fully installable on a regular pc.
I had installed it under Vmware for the heck of it, since I had no need for osx i have removed it .
I am sure Apple know this is happening as they work to censor that site .
I am also sure the only way for Mac to fullfill their dream? of being the most prelevant OS is to release their OS as a standalone product. I suspect this will be the case, maybe not this year but certainly next a retail version of OSX will be released which includes generic drivers for hardware. Because at this stage the only thing which is stopping the common use of hackintosh (osx on x86) is the lack of generic drivers for things like sound and network.


Apple welcome to Intel. The world of piracy(and powerpc software wasn't?lol) and viruses.
And to rub it in even further Apple themselves showed that osx runs much better on intel, which ends the long debate of which OS/Processors ran apps quicker..mac or clone pcs...
**note to self ..gamecubes have ppc**

i will add some more biased information later
