Guess this is end-of-the-update-line for my late '06 iMac. Now just waiting for a new model. *tapping foot impatiently.
- Gotta wait for the retina version now I guessanimatedgif
- The 2011 model is pretty solid. No retina display, that would be cray - but it's still a solid machine.jtb26
- Retina on an iMac isn't that appealing to me right now.monospaced

Seems to be related to graphic drivers not being updated to 64 bit either because Apple doesn't want to invest time in that or the hardware vendor. It seems the Mountain Lion graphics subsystem is more GPU bound and also the kernel won't load 32 bit drivers in 64 bit mode.

No support for early Intel MacPro... that sucks. Especially when the newer line isn't worth upgrading to other than a new OS.

yes and dont forget +99 dollars when buying your mac or you wont have access to the developper forum.
- Used to cost way more than that a few years back. So not a bad deal really.animatedgif
- You'll get mountain lion included in that too btwanimatedgif

not sure yet if this affects my mac pro but this will suuuuuuck if mine is a paperweight. this is how they get ya. then things like xcode will magically only be compatible with the latest os, which forces a hardware upgrade. get ready to bust out the kleenex if you have an old-ish apple system and require the latest os.
- So my less than 3 yr old Pro just scrapes in. I don't mind the pace of technology but that's almost cntish.MrT

one thing that got my attention is the way the capacity of the hard disk changes when viewing its info(and havent made any changes to the HD), sometimes its capacity grows up (i got a little HD) today it shows 37 gig available but yesterday it was less, anyway is this some kind of bug(on snow leopard)
- OS uses hard drive to store some of your RAM content and swaps when needed. You said you only had 2.5GB :)raf
- oh yes must be thati_was
- applications cache data too, which might have been emptied. But virtual ram can use a lotanimatedgif

coming from the pc world, i think osx is really a great OS , one nice option would be to have a pref or more prefs(if this cant be easily synthetize) to enable or disable OS animations, for ex a pref maybe that devs would chose to have the whole system without fancy animation.
- anyway not really a big prob is just that sometimes in xcode some slides in and stuff just anoys me a biti_was

^ well this is why you're not on the Apple branding team chossy ^
"The flat-headed cat (Prionailurus planiceps) is a small wild cat"
OS X releases are named after BIG CATS not small cats.

Btw,
Is it possible to disable "Version" in Lion so it will not consume space on HDD?
- versions only works in Apple apps for now. I doubt it's consuming that muchanimatedgif
