Mac OS X Leopard
Steve Jobs and the Apple team managed yet again to wow developers at the WWDC this year with the introduction of the new operating system for Mac: OS X Leopard. There are a bunch of new features included in the new OS including:
- Time Machine – helps you recover old files without backing it up yourself
- Spaces – Virtual Desktop-like software
- Bootcamp – now comes bundled (used to boot Windows XP)
Not only are there new features, but also included in Leopard is upgrades to current apps:
- Mail – new Notes box (kinda like post its) and ToDos (self explanitory)
- iChat – app screen sharing over video (show off slideshows, etc in QuickTime)
- Dashboard – not really a huge update for the average joe, but great news for widget developers (a widget creator specially made for widget makers)
Find out more indepth info after the jump.

Apple made some quips about Microsoft’s Redmond HQ and their seeming tendancy to “copy” Apple’s ideas. This was seen on Apple’s banners at WWDC with comments like “Hasta la vista, Vista” and “Redmond has a cat too, a copycat.” Big Steve also made a few comments about Microsoft himself while introducing new things saying “Get out your photocopier, Redmond.” All competition aside, the good people over at Lifehacker have put together a great comparison of Leopard and Vista so far.
