Apple's long-awaited Mac OS X "Leopard" operating systems was
finally unveiled in a preview weekend at the World Wide Developers
conference. New features and developments were released in many of
Apple's signature operating system component programs. The addition
of user created sub-desktop areas to group sets of similarly defined
programs (ie: graphic & video development, or internet surfing and
web development) lends to be an innovative and practical feature.
Leopard will finally include 64-bit support, even though most
current Macs are built around the 32-bit Intel processors. Leopard
Server will also include 64-bit support, but also purports to
increase the efficiency and productivity of Apple's server-side
applications. |

As far as the general Mac user is concerned, OS X "Leopard" is
close to nirvana. The feature-rich OS not only expounds upon the
already incredibly functional and practical application-base, but
also has focused on improving on the most contentious areas under
fire from its ever-supportive client base. Apple has shown a savvy
development attitude, catering very close to the practical desires
and needs of its users. The new and improved features promise a
rewarding experiences now only for Apple-based developers, but for
the every-day Mac-user as well. Personally, as a die-hard Mac
user/fanatic, I impatiently await the release of OS X "Leopard." But
I will also be a discerning critic of functionality and performance
so that I, too, can contribute to the improvement of the subsequent
releases of my favorite OS. |
