After using Vista for about a month, I have a ton of complaints about it. I can even forgive it for the new-OS-lacking-compatibility excuses that Microsoft can give, but this is crap. Functionality-wise, it is worse than Windows ME. While I will blog about my personal experience in a future post, I invite all of you to post your comments or complaints about Vista in this thread.
Yesterday someone came up to me and asked, “Eh! You are the MacBook Club President right?” Wao. I never knew that MacNUS had an alternative name. Haha crap.
However, this little incident also proved how fast the MacBook name caught up with people. Despite so many Mac fans feeling pissed when Steve Jobs announced the “MacBook Pro” and subsequently “MacBook” names for the new Intel-based Mac laptops, apparently the MacBook names caught on so well with people that they will remember the MacBook name over all previous names.
Seriously speaking though, the MacBook name is definitely easier for non-Mac users to recognise than the old iBook and PowerBook names. It’s a “Mac” “Notebook”, thus “MacBook”. Simple and nice. I personally got used to the MacBook name just one or two months after the MacBook Pro was released, and it’s actually awkward for me to use, or even remember the iBook and PowerBook names these days.
So yeah, we know that Leopard is now due for June. The big question everyone is asking now is exactly, are there secret features in Leopard? Developers and techies alike are both complaining that the 10.5 developers’ seed is both buggy, and have questioned the missing “secret features” that Steve Jobs promised at the WWDC keynote last year. They were puzzled as to why the secret features have yet to be seeded for testing, and many even believed that the secret features were in fact non-existant, being nothing more than Steve Jobs’ marketing ploy.
Well, I for one won’t bet on that, Leopard with the current features are just too empty to require Apple spending more than 2 years developing it. As for secret stuff, there’s definitely something being held back by Apple. Well for one thing, Leopard was (I believed) scheduled for a 1st April release. A few weeks before Apple’s twenty-first birthday, some Apple trainers were apparently notified to be on standby for a 1st April release of Leopard. Then 2 weeks later the rumours about the delay to June was everywhere, and it seemed that Apple did have a last minute delay after all. As to what caused the delay no one seems to have any ideas.
Well for one thing we do know that at one point of time, Leopard was ready. Then
All of a sudden the above does not matter anymore. Apple just announced a delay for Leopard to October due to the need to transfer manpower over to the iPhone side until it’s released in June in America.

Thanks ah iPhone. Now I don’t have my new Mac, I don’t have my new iWork, I don’t have my new Leopard, and I don’t have my new iPhone, thanks to Mr. Jobs’ “Asia 2008”. ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
