Mac OS X Tiger was ahead of its time in 2005. But that didn’t stop Apple engineers from moving forward. Get a glimpse of the not-so-distant future. Introducing Mac OS X Leopard. Use it, never lose it New in Leopard, Time Machine takes you beyond the backup. An automated system that regularly backs up everything on your Mac — music, photos, movies, documents — Time Machine also takes you back in time to restore your system. Enter Time Machine’s browser and look for files you may have deleted or lost, flip through multiple versions of the same project, or get a snapshot of your entire system from day one. Get the message Set your email to stun with Mail 3 in Leopard. Create amazing invitations, letters, travelogues, and more — complete with photos and graphics — using new Stationery templates. Just choose your template, then use the built-in Media Browser to drag in your photos and more. And when those RSVPs start filling your inbox, you’ll stay organized with new Notes and To-Dos you can access from any Mac or PC. Plus, security enhancements including anti-phishing protection in Mail and Safari make Leopard the safest Mac OS for all your communications. Show and tell iChat gets a double dose of fun and functionality in Leopard. Chat from virtually everywhere with video backdrops. Create a video alter-ego in iChat using fun effects from Photo Booth, built into Leopard. Set up an iChat Theatre session to put on a virtual slideshow or Keynote presentation. Or Initiate Screen Sharing and take control of a friend or colleague’s display. Enjoy the view Leopard improves the way you manage and access information on your Mac. For starters, with Spaces, you can organize your windows into different groups — work, play, communication, creation — and move between them all with ease. Spaces gives you a one-click bird’s eye view of every project. Plus, Dashboard adds new widgets that make life on the Web a one-click affair. Want to build your own Dashboard widgets? Dashcode gets your widgets running in minutes — even if you’ve never written a line of code. Shine a light Spotlight for Leopard introduces searching across network-mounted folders, so you can find what you need on more than one Mac. And with more powerful, flexible search options, Spotlight gives you more ways to find everything on your desktop — and beyond. Get ready, get set, get Leopard All these features and more are delivered to you in one universal, fully accessible, 64-bit operating system. Coming spring 2007. All features referenced in the Mac OS X Leopard   -- Posted by TheUnrealSlimShady at 10:14 pm on Aug. 16, 2006 Honestly, I don't think I'll be upgrading to that. None of the "new" things appeal to me. The "Spaces" thing seems to be stolen from the Linux "workspace" feature, which I've already emulated with another program on my Mac. Everything else seems the same to me. -- Posted by davjs at 10:15 pm on Aug. 16, 2006 I am so excited about Leopard! I want to buy a new computer just to run it on. I want a MacBook Pro. I'll probably wait a year to get one though. -- Posted by sydpao at 10:28 pm on Aug. 16, 2006 Quote: from davjs at 10:15 pm on Aug. 16, 2006 I am so excited about Leopard!

The only main difference is the dashboard, some programs, and this one is way faster. -- Posted by Stormblazer at 1:17 pm on Aug. 17, 2006 First picture is bullshit, Apple's just as bad as MS when it comes to stealing more advanced ideas. And apple is WORSE than microsoft when it comes to monopolizing, far, far, FAR worse. At least microsoft sticks to software. Apple forces hardware on you. Worse yet, Apple prosocutes anyone who even might have some resemblence geometrically in the most obscure way to their products. Don't believe me? Look up "pod" lawsuits. Anyways, Leopard doesn't really impress me that much, especially when you post a propaganda piece like that. -- Posted by Stormblazer at 1:18 pm on Aug. 17, 2006 Quote: from 4est at 11:31 pm on Aug. 16, 2006 Quote: from davjs at 10:15 pm on Aug. 16, 2006 I am so excited about Leopard!

And I wouldn't run linux just for spaces. By the way, get a clue, Creative sued Apple first, creative claims apple stole there software design of the zen. Apparently, your not allowed to catagorize your music my Artist, Playlist, and Genre . By the way, Apple promotes that it is built of linux. Mircrosoft is denying how much they ripped of OS X. So, microsoft has ripped off Linux and OS X. Linux is obscure and buggy at best. And OS X is kind of based on Linux, AND Apple promotes that fact. So be quite. -- Posted by mephisto mortis at 1:46 pm on Aug. 17, 2006 Quote: from 4est at 4:16 pm on Aug. 17, 2006 Quote: from mephisto mortis at 9:32 am on Aug. 17, 2006 Quote: from sydpao at 1:30 am on Aug. 17, 2006 Quote: from TheUnrealSlimShady at 10:14 pm on Aug. 16, 2006 Honestly, I don't think I'll be upgrading to that.

The only main difference is the dashboard, some programs, and this one is way faster. I have an iBook.  The installation process is pretty much the same.  After installation, on a completely fresh system, the OS X application monitor shows almost the same exact processes, memory usage, cpu usage, etc.  For some reason, when I try to do higher end tasks its much much slower and spotty on tiger.  Granted an iBook is a little older when it comes to hardware, but similar task should run the same if everything is as the system monitor says. -- Posted by sydpao at 8:01 am on Aug. 18, 2006 I really had so much fun reading these reactions... I don't want to say this but... i think i wanted to.. hehehe those people who are in windows are loosers. they just had suicide...

And OS X is kind of based on Linux, AND Apple promotes that fact. So be quite. Thanks for proving how little you know about both OSX, Linux, and computers in general. 1) OSX is loosely based on UNIX. 2) Linux is far from obscure/buggy. It's extremely scalable, and thus is used all over the place, from servers to PCs to DVD players. 3) Apple does NOT promote that's it's based on Linux, I don't think they want to be promoted as liars. Further, if it was based on Linux, then OSX would likely be illegal. 4) Creative did sue Apple yes- Apple's even worse about it though. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Apple monopolizes EVERYTHING they can get a grasp on. 5) My point about the ripping ideas is that saying this stuff is "new" is utter bullshit. It doesn't bother me so much that they're using the ideas. -- Posted by sydpao at 2:39 am on Aug. 20, 2006 I can see that some people aren't in for Apple Mac... Well, pitty for them... they won't be experienceing what i'm experienceing.. i don't want to persuade them... guess they already chose to suffer... hehehe -- Posted by mephisto mortis at 9:33 am on Aug. 20, 2006 Quote: from sydpao at 5:39 am on Aug. 20, 2006 I can see that some people aren't in for Apple Mac...

Let's see... by not using a mac, I save hundreds of dollars, hours of headaches, I get the ability to actually play games if I want to, I don't have to deal with Apple's monopolistic software, and I get access to a much, much larger variety of hardware and software. I'd say variety of OSes too, but Linux will run on a Mac. Yeah... apparently you call that suffering. -- Posted by sydpao at 7:37 am on Sep. 16, 2006 Quote: from pleaseremove at 11:38 am on Aug. 20, 2006 Oh look, almost all of those features have been around on server version of windows for the last 4 years and the rest is eye candy, no more. oh really?? can windows give the stability that MAc OS X can??? wow, pitty for windows users... -- Posted by pleaseremove at 1:08 pm on Sep. 16, 2006 Quote: from sydpao at 3:37 pm on Sep. 16, 2006 Quote: from pleaseremove at 11:38 am on Aug. 20, 2006 Oh look, almost all of those features have been around on server version of windows for the last 4 years and the rest is eye candy, no more. oh really?? can windows give the stability that MAc OS X can??? wow, pitty for windows users...

Dashboard no need and there widgets if u leave your computer on for more for a week have huge memory leaks   Windows Vista do i need the new aero interface or widgets   or windows live nope i like the old way aka msn the old look of xp or windows 2000 would be nice if they allow that   and for Linux which i see as a big plus   even if kde and gnome get bloated u always got windows mangers   what i trying to say is all OS have there faults and all the speculation of the new OS are nice but they all come at a price which is money and the hardware to run it   i know Linux is free but depending on how u do thing u got a hell of a learning curve Pages: 1 2  Next
