Apple Posts WWDC 2007 Keynote
Apple has posted today’s WWDC Keynote online.
The video which is only available as streaming at the moment is typical of Apple but at Macworld 2007 Apple offered a Podcast video of the Keynote for download from iTunes.
Leopard Site Reveals Extra Features, Lack of ZFS
Although Steve Jobs revealed a few more features during today’s Keynote, Apple has updated the Leopard section of its online website with a few more hints at what is to come.
In particular Boot Camp now allows users to “freeze” the system state and switch between OS’s.
Apple describes the feature as follows:
Leopard brings a quicker way to switch between Mac OS X and Windows: Just choose the new Apple menu item “Restart in Windows.” Your Mac goes into “safe sleep” so that when you return, you’ll be right where you were. It’s much faster than restarting the computer each time. Likewise, a “Restart in Mac OS X” menu item in the Boot Camp System Tray in Windows makes for a faster return to Mac OS X. With Windows hibernation enabled, you can pick up where you left off.
Front Row in Mac OS X 10.5Front Row has also received an update, sporting a look similar to that of Apple TV. Also iTunes Top 10 lists have been added to Front Row.
Video capture is now supported in Photo Booth, a timeline navigator has been added to DVD Player and a macro recording feature has been confirmed for Automator.
However missing is any mention of ZFS. In a post just days before WWDC we reported that Sun CEO Jonathan Schwart touted ZFS has the next generation file system in Mac OS X.
