Apple Mac OS X v 10.5 - Leopard Review

Posted on 2007-11-09 15:20:56 by Thomas De Maesschalck

All in all, it's hard to view Leopard as much of an advance on Tiger. The interface improvements are a mixture of 'great' and 'meh', while the new features don't really add much beyond tweaks to your daily workflow. The feature with the ability to really blow you away - Spaces - is switched off by default, and probably won't be found by the majority of people. So whilst Leopard will undoubtedly sell tonnes of copies (quite apart from the fact it will now ship with all new Macs), it's hard not to feel that, given the system's delay and hype, Apple has delivered too little too late - with too many bugs, to boot. Perhaps it's time for Apple to start thinking about OS XI?

I am a long time Macintosh user (1984). I put an order for this software a few months ago and received its delivery but I decided not to install it until I read the reviews. I checked in with Best Buy (three of them) and found that none of them had successful install of the software. I checked in with an Apple Store and was told everything was fine. Yesterday I called Amazon.com and they emailed me a return label. In a month or two I will check the internet and perhaps rebuy it. I am disappointed that Apple sent out a product which was apparentlynot ready for prime time.
