Apple Media Event ~ OSX Lion?

[HotelUser]

It'll only be impressive if it's a new look to the OS, but seeing as it seems to be "OSX" Lion it won't be anything "new" per say, other what us Windows folk will call a "Service Pack" upgrade that costs monies. But obviously answers will come eventually to put us sceptics at bay Either that or Apple love the "X" too much to let it go, and will have a new look to the OS but for some reason keep the X adding a spanner in the works.

Yeah, I would only get super excited if it was redesigned too. I didn't notice hardly any difference when SL came out other than the spring folders being able to browse subfolders.

On a sidenote I don't think you were a Habbox God last time I saw you. So--congrats, love the sparkly name

When ever a new windows OS came out it looked different. ( maybe not vista and 7 ).
But when ever a new OSx came out itlooks exactly the same..

I saw Snow Leopard as a SP for OSX that cost money, obviously you know I don't use Macs but usually when an OS is released you get a flurry of information and hype, but there didn't appear to be any with SL. I'm not sure what Apple can do if they did make a new user-interface, it's not exactly boring unless they did what Windows have done with Vista and 7 and that is have the option to customise more.

And neither did I, I'm sure it was VIP not long ago Bow down to me

I don't know, I think Vista and 7 were quite different on the outside (and alot more on the inside). The taskbars are very different at least, 7 looks alot neater than Vista and 7 incorporates the date into the taskbar, while I *think* Vista only had the time, unless you expanded the taskbar. I see XP, Vista and 7 as a steady transition. XP kept to one design, Vista opened up a little while 7 opened up further in terms of colour and customisation.

Yeah. Grant it I think OS X is really nice looking I want a facelift. Something to look forward to!

maybe something Apple could do is make it easier for the user to customize everything. Instead of one theme allow the user to customize the theme and choose between a selection without use of third party applications like their Windows counterparts.

You can tell the differences between Windows Vista and 7 with ease and isn't what the user sees either, changes were made under the hood and that is why it is such a good operating system. I'm not going to call OSX Lion a service pack until it actually feels like it is going to be one, Leopard > Snow Leopard > Lion, there's a bit of a change in the cat family there. What's next, MOUNTAIN LION?!?!

I do wonder what Apple are going to do for their Mac side of things as they have really been concentrating on their iOS devices quite a lot recently.

What do you mean exactly? Windows 7 seems to allow users to change themes effortlessly, or do you mean one step further where you can customise more than just the taskbar and background, but symbols as well, log-in and more? That would be interesting, and would remove barriers that Apple do not let their users customise their machines.

I think I mentioned at the beginning that Vista and 7 are very different, but I may have written it wrong It's hard to say what Lion will be, because it does look as though they're sticking with OS "X" which would imply that huge change won't be coming. Interesting to see though whatever happens, as Snow Leopard kinda dampened OSX, but that maybe because of other contributing factors like Android taking away some Apple thunder, Apple concentrating on their hand helds and Windows releasing 7 so any Mac related changes didn't really amount to anything.

Nono I was talking about Apple here. I want them to allow for more customization out of the box

Ahh, was going to say, I'm sure you've seen Windows 7 before now That would be good if Apple did it, they're behind as it is!

Yeah. To do any serious redecorating on OS X you need to use third party apps. On Windows you can do more theming out of the box, but I think to change anything drastic still you need to patch the uxtheme (or something like that) library.

Touchscreens. Just sayin'.
