Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

By Elsa Wenzel (zdnet.com)

Editor's note: We have revised this First Take to better reflect information available from published reports and from Apple. (9/13/06)Based on the demos we've seen, we're reasonably sure none of the 10 top-secret things Apple CEO Steve Jobs said ...

Elegant backup via Time Machine ; Finder offers powerful navigation tweaks ; novel workspace customization through Spaces' virtual desktops ; integration with Web data and applications ; Cover Flow visualizes file browsing ; iChat Theater offers green ...

Leopard was afflicted in some cases by installation woes and application failures ; some new features, such as geotagging, aren't obvious to find ; users with older Macs can't run Leopard

The grace of Leopard's interface enhancements makes productivity more pleasurable with a Mac, as more than 300 functional and fun features top off this update.

"Better than Windows and Linux , that's for sure."

By photolito (cnet.com)

It just works. 

There's a good amount of software, less prone to viruses, crashes less than Windows, fun to use, the interface is better, it's faster and just designed better. Upgrade to Snow Leopard from Leopard is only 29 bucks

There's a few glitches, but those are fixed with updates most of the time. Some applications won't work (but you can always use Boot Camp, virtualization software or CrossOver) and some drivers won't work if they're Windows Native
