Every time Apple announces the arrival of a new program or piece of hardware the Apple forums have double the posts (I actually just made that up, but it wouldn't suprise me). For good reason to. Apple produces innovative products at competitive prices.Leopard is the big deal now. In ten days the OS I am running (10.4 Tiger) will be uncool, out of style, and somehow not as productive (mine as well get the new one eh?). $129 will get you a single license while a cool $199 will snag five.
The Advent of OS X Leopard 10.5 is heralded by the number 300. Apple boasts 300 new improvements of 10.4. These aren't just little patches like Windows users are used to either. Cool new interfaces and ideas are making their ways to our computers on October 26th.
According to the Countdown Timer, as I write this there are nine days, 23 hours, and 23 seconds till the release. Talk about hype!
There are some very interesting features in Leopard.
Finder can operate like coverflow in the iPod.
Quicklook allows you to preview any document, file, video, and many other types without opening an app.
Time Machine keeps your computer backed up automaticaly with an external HD.
iChat has some amazing background and sharing options. You can share anything on iChat that Quicklook can preview.
Spaces allows you to divide your monitor real estate more efficiently, reducing the need for multiple monitors or quadrupling productivity.
Boot Camp comes standard, all you need is your own version of Windows.
And Mail has cool email templates for the sentimental.
