Lion looks lackluster. As an app developer, I'm excited for the Mac App Store (and eventual Apple TV App Store) but the rest of the OS does not seem like a major leap, as they are claiming it to be.
Snow Leopard offered more than this coming from Leopard.
- _djo_ 16y agoBear in mind that this is only a very early media preview of OS X Lion and that Apple does not traditionally reveal all the juicy details of its new OS X releases this far in advance. So there's no doubt more to come. For instance, Jobs hinted at some new features and APIs coming across from iOS to enable things like instant-on, the automatic and implicit saving of files and state-preservation on quit, none of which was described in any detail. So I highly doubt that what we saw yesterday was the sum total of the innovations and updates that Apple is planning for Lion.
- kevinelliott 16y agoOf course it doesn't, but it didn't really warrant a preview either.
- gaius 16y agoThe even releases are more about new features for developers, the odd releases are more about rolling those features out to everyone.
- kevinelliott 16y agoHmm, that's odd, because that's how they billed Snow Leopard.
