Apple has been announced the Snow Leopard with one sentence and made a webpage when WWDC 08’s opening date. They keep away from giving more informations about it. However, they can’t counteract to leak of informations from developers anyway. In a german website which Apfeltalk, some screenshots has been published about Snow Leopard and Safari 4 recently but Apple forced the Apfetalk to delete all images and analysis out there. That means new operating system comes with new features soon. For example, web apps, Address Book wıth Exchange support, the said Resolution Independence since 10.4 version, multiple touchscreen trackpad support for 3rd party applications and ZFS file system support. Also, application sizes decreasing half and half because of stopped to the PowerPC support, some dreamers imagine that this is innovation but it is not.
ZFS support is a modern file system which Mac users waited long time why they wanted to use it. Besides, some dreamers expected to ZFS support on Leopard but they disappointed, we understand the situation from coming news about Snow Leopard, full ZFS support will be only with server release of an operating system, that means it’ll be with Snow Leopard Server. Also, passing the ZFS as standard file system won’t be possible with new system, they’ll continue their way HFS+ feature in near future. This ZFS issue seems like the Windows’s WinFS issue todays.
Personally, Snow Leopard doesn’t make sense to me too much, it makes me excited actually.Snow Leopard is an operating system, Apple Inc kicking PowerPC users’ ass and blanking to the Leopard fiasco before 8 months with this craps. Snow Leopard is only Apple Inc’s who expert of cell phone new operating system. Thanks a lot for Steve Jobs 2.0. Mac OS X to become impracticable with endless problems, fiascos, scandals and security bugs
