Seven months late and two and a half years after the last upgrade, Apple’s latest operating system is finally here. The new version, Mac OS X 10.5, better known as Leopard, has more than 300 new features, but how much of a difference will users notice?

This is basically, what all the online sources and OS reviewers have been saying about the new MAC OS, but lets be honest MACs are know for what? gaming? powerful computers? NO! They are mostly know for breaking the barrier between the style.functionality, and ease of use! The new OS bring more of that company saving charm MAC is know for! Being a short time admirer of the Mackintosh computers, I understand the appeal they have to the public as of know, the main reason i am now even considering a MAC for next computer is that they incorporated the new intel core duo chips into there motherboards, which allows for running of all types of OS, which widen the usability and flexibility of both the system and the user. The delays have so far been due to the recent releases of such hardware ( pronounced “eye candy”) such as the iTouch and the iPhone which they decided to ride the wave before making another big splash which limits the full media impact. For example think of Apples latest releases as pebbles being thrown into a pond this creating ripples, the ripples can be seen as buzz and fuss over the newest item, so they wait for the pond to calm down thus creating the greatest exposure for the product, and them wow them again, i my opinion this is the reason why Apple Inc. is doing so well!

The jump from the old OS to the new OS X Leopard, wont be as a big of a jump and Windows XP to Windows Vista. OS X Leopard has had a giant overhaul compare to its predecessor such overhauls include, 3D Dock and they have integrated cover flow into the file system!

As well as the new coat of paint, there are more substantial changes and additions such as Stacks, Time Machine and Spaces. Stacks is a new way of grouping together multiple programs into categories such as office or photography.

Time Machine is an automatic system backup application that will create copies of files on an external drive, so you can fly back in time to access files you might have deleted. It is, of course, graphically impressive and easy to use, but also an incredibly powerful and impressive bit of kit.

So what does this monkey say the bottom of the line, well if your going to buy it for the gloss and flash, i would wait a couple months let the system get the kinks out, but if your buying it for improved security and time machine, then I would recommend it if your need it!
