Leopard October 28, 2007
Posted by vinnyt in : Apple, Mac, Operating System Debates , add a comment On Friday Oct. 26th I joined hundreds of others in a line at the local Apple store and purchased a copy of the new hotness OS X, version 10.5. I had a little trepidation about upgrading to this OS on day one due to some reviews I read on several of the popular websites complaining about a few minor here and there bugs. However, after using the OS now going on 3 days I have to say there is not a single thing I have to complain about.
First off I have a standard MacBook and it is much faster. The biggest improvement is when I put the computer to sleep and come back to it. It wakes up almost instantly and there is no hesitation with applications they all are responsive right away. So far I have to hand it to Apple they go this one right. I do have one minor complaint and that is I don’t see any of the core animation stuff that was hyped up during all the demos and so forth leading up to this launch. I suspect that development companies didn’t get their developments cycles lined up with Apples release time frame so the Leopard only applications are not ready yet. We’ll see these in the coming months. Verdict: spend the money do the upgrade it’ll be worth it.
