mac osx 10.7 might as well come out soon, when i buy a macbook pro i want it to be at least 10.7/10.8 even though 10.8 might take another 5 years or so…
there is a bad thing about apple, everybody noticed how when jobs took a vacation once, apple’s earning plummeted, but when he came back they almost duplicated… what will happen when jobs retires?

I’ve been a dedicated Mac user since the 80s. Although I have an iPhone and an iPod, I’ve been saddened by Jobs’ and thus Apple (Computer) Inc’s deterioration of interest in the Mac brand ever since the iPod became popular.

I saw the writing on the wall when OSX got delayed because of the iPhone. Without OSX there would be no IOS. It’s sad to see baby slapping mommy.

You should upgrade. 10.6 is a lot faster and stable then the previous versions.

Snow Leopard made a lot of under-the-hood changes that need time to bed in for developers, and it’s also now a highly polished and finessed platform – it’s stacks up very well against the nearest competition (Windows 7) and there really isn’t any pressing need to change it any time soon.

I’m guessing 10.7 is a couple of years away at least, and that’s probably the way it ought to be.

I don’t mind 10.6 being around for a while so that projects like MacPorts, and the upstream, could catch up. 10.6 broke a lot of things in the free software world, and given limited manpower it will take a while to fix.

Things like wxWindows and Gimp/GTK simply don’t work natively via MacPorts right now, even though they did work just fine on 10.5. Some other things are kinda-broken too, for example Octave + aquaterm is starting up X11 for no good reason when you plot, even when aquaterm is compiled as a native quartz client.

Note that this was intentional too. Before 10.4 Apple had been releasing every year and developers were freaking out because the APIs and platform were changing so fast. They intentionally slowed down to release every 2 years to let developers get situated.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they let 10.6 hang around for 3 years to get people onboard the GCD technology and 64bit bandwagon.

I don’t expect 10.7 top be out until later 2012, possibly 2013, because Remeber, although this may not happen again, Tiger was Apple’s flagship OS for 4 years, and if that’s also going to be the case for Snow Leopard, then I still wouldn’t be surprised if it was 2013 right now and apple released Mac OS X 10.6.11.
