and linux! comparison v vmware and paralells.. thanks for helping,but no more bootcap here we are
bootcamp runs XP and VISTA at NATIVE SPEED
well hey its out of beta
bootcamp feature 6
live and interactive ad for apple tv
utomatic animation, text, images, video, OpenGL. Higher producttion values, etc., according to Steve. He’s showing us a wall of videos where he can zoom in and look at any particular video. It’s also searchable, but it’s not clear if that is a function of Core Animation, or the app that was made using Core Animation!!!!!
flashy animation - like vista but it can actually handle it… He’s running Gigaimage 64 to do an effect and other things to the image to show how much faster working on this huge image is in true 64-bit. This is another one for the math nerds, but it’s very cool.
Jays on a satellite phone to the UK team
feature 5 - core animation, easy to add application, developers come over from windows… windows developers are a many… jobs making it SIMPLE for new developers to come along
RUN 32bit and 64bit apps at the same time…. 32 bit 81 seconds and 64 bit 2 seconds running Pshop filters
Steve did a search or something that found the right files on another Mac not on the network. Again, this is some cool stuff. It’s the way computers should work. It could find interest in the corporate world, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
4GB photo loading, amazingly fast… 4GB!!!

Jay Here
hello this is Jay Taylor reporting from WWDC 2007 in San Fran.
Welcome
Welcome to WWDC 07 - everyone is now taking their seats, Jay is currently gearing to provide you with live coverage from WWDC.
Thanks to Emerates, Yahoo (UK), RackSpace, ChillServer, iVirtua Community (UK), Telecity RedBus we have 8 Dedicated Servers on the job - feel free to refresh as much as you want.
Looks like some Vista influences in Mac OSX 10.5 - stand by for a safari on windows exclusive first review ever, in the world.
While the new OS X still isn't revolutionary, I am digging the new features. October is too far off!
As for the iPhone "SDK," what understood from the keynote is that all the third-party "applications" HAVE to be run in Safari. The way he accessed that example application was through Safari. Maybe they will allow you to create shortcut icons on the "desktop" that would launch Safari to a specific app.
I also wonder if you will be able to download some of the applications (ones that don't require internet access) so you can use them on your phone even if you're not connected to the internet.
As for how you would access the iPhone features through the "SDK," I am guessing it will be similar to the DOM interface when programming for browsers.
Oh, and see, the changes that I thought they were making seemed like enough to call it a new OS for the first time since. . .10.4. That was BS.
But x86, x86-64, and PPC builds, new file format, resolution independence, (something I was really pissed that wasn't a part of Longhorn) a new Finder, and integrated Boot Camp: that's well more than janking Quicksilver and calling it Spotlight.
