Apple Asking For Developer Feedback On Leopard 9A499
Apple mailed out a survey link for ADC developers asking for feedback on the current Leopard seed (9A499).
The survey is actually asking developers for a comparison between Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and the shipping version of Mac OS X Tiger (10.4):
The survey provides comparison choices of
- Much Worse
- Somewhat worse
- About the same
- Somewhat better
- Much better
on a wide range of Mac OS X tools and features. The described areas of comparison are broken down into Mail & Web, Graphics & Media, Setup & Mobility, Desktop & Interface, Productivity & Communication, and Sharing & Devices.
You must be an ADC developer to participate in the survey (verified by email).
Apple is expected to ship the final version of Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) in October.

It looks as if they're cutting it close if they're not going to delay it further.
It's mid-August already but it's a good opportunity.

I'm an online ADC member and didn't receive this. I guess they only want people with hands on experience to rate it.

Agree.
What can they do if dev's tell them the new finder (or whatever other big feature) sucks? re-write it?

Apple must think they are doing pretty well, they just wanna know if someone disagrees. This is the last change to fix things before the release.

i'm guessing that at this point the finishing touches are being worked on for Leopard and that if they see something though this sort of survey they can act rather quickly since its a focal point. at least i'd hope so.
