Apparently Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz just let slip that Apple is going to ship ZFS as "the filesystem" in Leopard. Not sure why he wouldn't say "default filesystem" if that was what he meant, but on the other hand, it's hard to imagine "the filesystem" meaning anything other than "default filesystem." If true maybe this has something to do with Lepard's delay? And I wonder if the idea of pooling in ZFS might help out with mouting and connecting (and then sometimes disconnecting) a lot of disparate media storage devices (macs, ipods, apple tvs, iphones) into one home storage cloud? Anyway, I've been following ZFS for a while, but I'm truely surprised by the speed of this development. Can't wait to check it out.
Apple announced new MacBook Pros (with 15 and 17 inch screens) this morning. Based around Intel's Santa Rosa platform and powered by Intel Core 2 Duo processors at 2.16 and 2.33 GHz. The 15 inch sports a brand new LED powered screen. Base configurations come with 2 GB of RAM, upgradeable to 4 GB. This is my next computer as soon as I earn enough money to afford it.
