A few months delayed (to make way for the iPhone's much hyped launch I guess) but now it's finally out--the Mac OS X Leopard is the latest operating system to come out of the Apple camp.
It boasts of 300+ new features, that includes a major graphical overhaul that promises better user experience than the former, and looks like it!
As they are in the hundreds, I won't delve into tackling the specs but check them out here.
They say it's never too late, but this one's an exception.
Launched just yesterday, most Windows Vista news and reviews (CNET News, Wired News, StarNewsOnline.com to name a few) lead towards the usual verdict--if you're happy with Windows XP, stick with it (or don't even think of upgrading). The lukewarm reception at launch brings back memories of the Zune launch (social, anyone?) last year.
Took Microsoft five years, and what do you get? Features that are in Mac OS X already. With so many editions to choose from, the 'aero' desktop seems to be the highlight and until launch, there's not much buzz about applications specifically designed for Vista. I'd appreciate its support for Tablet PCs but it's (Tablet PCs) become more niche than common office tools.
Cool name though.
