Mac OS X Leopard is impressive! |
|
I have just finished the tutorial on Mac OS X Leopard, and have come away from it very impressed! There are so many amazing features that I wish would exist in Windows Vista, such as:
- Time Machine: This new app lets you rollback a document, or your whole Mac to an earlier date. While Vista does have System Restore, it will not allow you to rollback a document or a folder to an earlier time. Plus Time Machine looks incredibly cool; it has a space theme that look reminiscent of the beginning of Star Wars.
- Spaces: This app allows you to have up to 4 separate desktops, each with its own set of apps running! WOW!
- Quicklook: This app is a previewer that allows you to fully preview documents or presentations without having to open them. Looks beautiful and works great!
- New Email features: The Email program now can detect dates withing emails and make them into an iCalendar appointment. You can also create to-do items straight from an email and easily send yourself notes.
- New iChat features: Now you can use iChat to directly connect to other Macs and either fix problems or collaborate on documents. Also, you can change your iChat background to a picture or to a video so you can appear underwater, in the clouds or wherever you like!
I am very impressed with Mac OS X Leopard and at this point, like it better than Windows Vista (sorry Microsoft!)
