Either that or Leopard will use some kind of on-the-fly code translation, which *does* actually exist, and is developed by the same company behind the Rosetta technology that Intel Macs use (http://www.transitive.com/technology.htm). Or maybe it's a Firefox skin? I don't know. As far as the Finder UI, it's consistent with iTunes 5, so I find it believable. I'd actually find it surprising if Brushed Metal survived through three major OS updates. And as for the "Command+Tab"-like 1-2 menu, I don't find that to unbelievable either. Oversimplified, maybe, but not impossible. Remember this is Apple, not Microsoft....there's not going to be a dialog box that says "Do you really want to switch to the alternate Operating System environment?" :P And last but not least- if true, this would be Beta software; thus a lot of features seen here might be in rudimentary stages, or may not even make it into the final product. That's the end of my $0.02 for now...

This mixed-up mode of running the windows IE in OSX just seems unconvincing, especially when Apple has clearly stated that it will allow but not support Win on Macs. Why bring so much trouble to the clean side of the fence? This makes the About box even more suspicious. The "OS switching" scenario seems more likely, i'd rather speculate on Apple integrating something like Paralells on Leopard (or simply leaving it to third parties to take care of that as they have done so far) and concentrating on "the mac advantage", iLife and pro apps. i just hope Apple is watching and taking care of giving us what we want :) like tabbed finder windows and other such niceties. I'm thinking of producing a fake screenshot myself and see how many mistakes people find in it, it's a fun way of generating discussion on the user wishlist! well, indeed IE for mac will be no more, but you can still grab the latest version and use it.

Whoever made this screenshot is trying to imply it runs on a virtualized Windows instance, as suggested by the Boot Camp icon in the menu bar. Many things are off. OS X apps cannot display changes to their Dock icons while they're not running as of 10.4. The Finder window is almost perfect, but has no toolbar button in the top right and the path toolbar is not the one being used in 10.4 (and is also merged with Actions, which is completely unrelated -- sorry but that's not a thing Apple would do IMHO).

Actually I doubt anyone would get a Mac and install Win only on it. I need the dualboot for those silly small applications that have no Mac version. other then those, I'll only use OSX. @ takio You've made some very good observations, but I still feel there is some truth in the shot. I believe we're looking at the future, or just a sample of it. It's the IE that doesn't convince me. Didn't M$ end all support for the Mac version of the app? Why bother? The numbers certainly refer to different desktops. Maybe each can run a different OS? Will be interesting to see what the future holds. @ Mike

I can see why someone would get a mac if they like the OS, but what is the point of getting a mac if all your going to do is put windows on it?
