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."

    The difference between Mac and PC is like the difference between driving an automatic and a manual. Mac's are easy and cool to use, pc's give you some more power and are more difficult.

    My secretary uses a macintosh. It's pretty neat. Every time she's asks me to fix it I laugh to myself a little. It is a Fischer Price PC.

    If history was different, I might even prefer the apple guys to dominate the OS market. Well, it doesn't work that way.

      KDE on top of xorg.
      Transparent, dockable menu bars with widgets that can be attached to them. The site seems to be slashdotted, so I can't give you a slide by slide from the image gallery, but that article seriously read like a KDE press release from 3 years ago.

    And I'm sure that people who have only done laundry by beating their clothing against rocks in a river swear by their method too.
