It automatically tracks changes in your setup , what you installed etc. then you look at a 'timeline' or on XP a calendar , and pick what day you want to roll-back to. well 'roll back' is what it's called on xp, I guess it will be called something else now steve has invented it.

"quicktime is missing software required to perform this activity : unfortunately the software is not available on the server". I think that translates as - PC user, we don't care if you see this.
I'll just guess that it is similar to the XP thing but looks a lot nicer.
Actually it looks pretty different, with XP it's about ghosting the entire OS etc., nothing mentioned about OS instability issues due to third party drivers being fixed by restoring the OS to an earlier configuration etc. the kind of thing System Restore is good for, this is more about a sort of multiple undo for the trash.... I think it's kind of stupid actually...hoffman2k wrote:Holy shit.

I asked my web designer mate who has always been one of these "macs are the best" people for years why he didnt yet have a macbook pro and his reply was "ALWAYS wait for 2nd gen mac stuff"Digi V wrote:i reckon this spring will be the greatest time to EVER buy a mac.
with new intel 64bit duel core chips and new osx
how could you wait? truly how the hell could you not buy a new computer if you've been waiting?
perfect time.
Uh? perfect time for who? because like you, I bought a macbook pro already, that and a dual 2.5 G5... I haven't even begun to use them in full force, what they replaced came in at less than half as fast, and NI are not ready for Intel mac yet.Digi V wrote:i reckon this spring will be the greatest time to EVER buy a mac.

I'm hoping the "Top Secret" stuff talked about in the keynote is the Wine type emulator...Machinesworking wrote:If my information isn't total BS, yes........ no guarantees that it isn't total BS though!hoffman2k wrote:Will i be able to play San Andreas?Machinesworking wrote: Yeah, like I said, something similar to Wine, but embedded in the OS.
of course for early adopters like ourselves who purchased the new MBP already it doesn't apply.Machinesworking wrote:Uh? perfect time for who? because like you, I bought a macbook pro already, that and a dual 2.5 G5...

In fact, Waldorf, Cycling 74, Native instruments, and a few other plug ins of mine are not ready for UB yet. Waldorf (PPG Wave, Attack, and D-Pole for me) will be a crap shoot as to whether it will ever be UB.
Uh-He, FXPansion, and a few others are still beta.
Hey, be happy there are fast machines out and all, I'm just putting in a little perspective.
