October 26, 2007 marks the first post of Serving Aloha, it just so happens that today Apple is releasing OS X v10.5 Leopard. The Leopard Operating System boasts over 300 new features.
- Desktop. A neat place to work. Organize your dock items with stacks which can be displayed in fan or grid display.
- Finder. Give your files the rock star treatment. Browse your files in finder with Cover Flow, just as you scroll through album art in iTunes.
- Quick Look. Look before you launch. Quick Look lets you preview your files without actually opening the application. Flip through pages in a PDF file, playback a movie, etc.
- Time Machine. A giant leap backward. Plug in an external harddrive, and you will have hourly backups of all your files. To recover a file simply go back into time and restore your file.
- Mail. Think outside the inbox. Mail allows you to easily integrate with iCal and Address Book to keep you organized. There is also notes which can be made into a todo list right from your inbox.
- iChat. Not being there is half the fun. Share files and give control of your desktop right from iChat.
- Spaces. Room for everything. Spaces help keep you organized by grouping application windows into separate areas that you can switch between to reduce clutter.
Leopard has a retail price of $129 and is available at your local Apple Store or the Online Apple Store (free shipping). Easily upgrade by popping in the DVD and restarting your mac. You will need at least half a Gig of memory, 9GB of disk space, and a DVD player. For more information watch the guided tour.
