A Look at WWDC 2009 Build of Snow Leopard
World of Apple recently posted a look at the build of Snow Leopard (10A380) provided to developers at WWDC 2009. Despite being described as "near final", the build did not contain all the features that were demonstrated in the WWDC keynote such as the Dock Expos. As a result, most of the changes found were rather minor.
Some of the changes detailed include:
- Snow Leopard now counts data sizes in base 10. In the example shown a 320GB hard drive shows as 320GB as opposed to 297GB
- Your timezone can be determined automatically
- System-wide spelling correction
The final version of Snow Leopard will be released in September 2009.

The base 10 sizes thing will be a little weird at first. I think I'll grow to like it.

Doesn't counting in base 10 go against what's actually there? Wouldn't that artificially inflate storage size?

Ahhhh can't wait for Snow Leopard, it's definitely going to be good release.
X5-452: It doesn't inflate it, it just counts it differently, so when you buy a 250GB hard drive from PC World, you are actually going to get 250GB... instead of it showing up at 225 or whatever it would say.
It's a step in the simpler direction.

my build doesnt have dock expose, need it bad. micosoft has long had a solution for this.
the interface on finder really really sucks compared to what microsoft offers, and they sai that they wont change any of it, that is just total and utter BS, they should get their act together.

Does that mean the upgrade from Leopard really only frees up 5.8 GBs of space rather than 6?
:cool:

I'm looking forward it to SL as well. But my major concern is whether it'll have Rosetta support. I've read differing comments on this, ranging from "no" to "it'll be an optional install." There are a few PPC apps, especially Quicken, that I still rely on (thanks, Intuit).

The base 10 thing is because Apple got sick of all the "why have I lost HD space??!!!" topics on MR :cool:
