New OS Leopard for MAC
Hey guys I just came back yesterday from a company meeting and presentation to hear about the new MAC OS Leopard.
Have you heard of it? I have seen a demo of its advantages and really looks fantastic though there are some features im not sure about. They took like 18 months instead of average 12 to do it but i think it worthed it. As I see it: Good Points: The data accesibility is amazing The new mail look is awesome really it is a sort of "Incredimail" idk if you are familiar with that program where you choose the backgrounds for your emails, but not only that, Leopard allows you to use some new templates to just drag pics from files and place them on your email...wow It recognizes the dates everywhere and allows you to underline them and add them to an agenda (yes amazing) They made improvements on i-chat making you be able to change the backgrounds of the chat with camera feature makes you look you are in any city or the end of the sea etc.. Bad Points: -It scares me the amount of little tiny beuaty things to make it look nicer cause makes it looks a little windows like .... -The new feature called time machine supposes you to be able to go back in time using a sort of new backup feature but I wonder how much memory will that consume (nobody talked about it during the talk and then I talked to some collegues and they told me " well everyone knows that will consume a lot!" So what do you guys think |
The time machine feature doesn't really take up so much memory space that it effects the efficientcy of the machine. All windows versions (Not as sure about the older ones) have this feature and it's damn handy for it. It generally saves about a day or two, to a week's worth (depends on what you set it to) of past data, and if your computer crashes, or you lose valuable data, you are able to turn your computer back to the exact way it was on the last day the machine did an auto save/backup.
I had to use it many times on my PC (Because frankly PC's and Windows fail really badly at not crashing, and being really vulnerable to errors), and it saved my butt a few times. Only thing is, I have yet to ever run into a time when I have needed that feature on my MAC, as I have never run into a problem with it, or lost any data due to errors. I myself haven't bothered to switch over to leopard, as I'm fine with the way my mac is now. I don't need useless features that aren't of much importance to me lol |
