“The more time I spend with Leopard, the more convinced I am that it is the most significant upgrade to Mac OS X since Jaguar,” David Zeiler reports for The Baltimore Sun.
“As Leopard is the sixth version of Mac OS X, major change was not likely. At the same time, almost every part of OS X has been revised – cosmetically, with new capabilities, or both. Although I was expecting an incremental upgrade, Leopard has impressed me as much more than that,” Zeiler reports.
“Leopard delivers a new version of the Web browser, and Apple has optimized it for speed. The version of Safari 3 on the Leopard DVD is an order of magnitude faster than even the Safari 3 beta I’ve been using for months. Apple also added a tool for clipping a piece of any Web page to create a widget. You can keep this clip on your desktop and it will update automatically whenever the original Web page does. Cool,” Zeiler reports.
“Leopard predictably feels faster on my 2006 vintage MacBook, but it even purrs on my barely qualifying 2001 867 MHz G4 Quicksilver tower Mac. Subjectively I’d say it’s actually more responsive than Tiger,” Zeiler reports.
