Leopard is not forgotten… I’m sure this catches Leopard up to Snow Leopard, for Java purposes. Now, if we get one for Tiger, I will be really impressed.
The changes to Quicktime in snow leopard were interesting… but screen capture with only built in mic or mic line input?
Great to see the update, but why exactly, was Java 1.4 and Java 5 removed from Snow Leopard?
Hoping this resolves the issue SL’s Java has with some Cisco management apps.
Early adopters are complaining about early adoption.
Go figure.
