Apple's OS X Leopard In Depth

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the leopards-like-to-rest-in-trees dept.

jcatcw writes "Computerworld begins its Week of Leopard with an in-depth review and image gallery covering Apple's newest version of OS X. Is it worth the wait? Well, Yes. It trumps Vista, of course; the Finder, Quick Look and Cover Flow provide better functionality and eye candy; Time Machine is the biggest undelete ever and the restore function is one of the coolest things we've ever seen; it has iChat; and has lots of updates under the hood. The answer might be no if you're lacking in the hardware department - an FAQ on how to get ready for the new version will help."

    Maybe the guy at Computerworld could give us seeded developers a copy of the GM before release. Apple sure didn't bother.

    Vista's definitely a step forward from XP, especially on the backend. They've really gone all-out on the "hybrid kernel" idea and it really works to keep things stable and organized. It's certainly prettier than Gnome :/ For programming and the command line, give me bash. For anything graphical at all, I'll take vista any day. Linux just doesn't have a mature desktop environment available, and that's the point of a graphical interface! We'll see how KDE4 turns out..
