Over a month ago, I wrote “Dawn of a New Era - Story of a Leopard and its Spots“, reviewing the then newly released Mac OS X Leopard, raving about its superb new features and brand new interface.

Now, with over a month passed, has the verdict changed? Are the 300-plus new features really worth RM500 (USD 129)?

Frankly, I love Leopard. Apart from major upgrades like Time Machine, Boot Camp and Stacks, amongst others, vast improvements have been made to existing programs such as Preview, iCal, Mail and Finder.

The highly anticipated Mac OS X Leopard is finally here, and I can well say it was worth the wait. Needless to say, as an ardent Mac user, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it the very moment it was released. After a swift installation process, the new Leopard roared successfully on both my Macbook and iMac.

Even before Leopard was released, we’ve all heard that it comes with over 300 new features – a huge leap from Tiger, no doubt. Undeniably, these features are impressive. So exactly what’s new in Leopard? From its interface (which is enough to make you gasp in awe) to major changes like Time Machine, Spotlight, Quicklook, Parental Controls, and Spaces, Leopard is also amazingly fast.

But of course, like all other Mac OS X releases before, Leopard is too big to review in just one sitting.

Today, we shall begin with the basics.

Apple’s sixth major upgrade to Mac OS X since the desktop operating system debuted in 2001, Leopard, will go on sale on 26th Oct for USD129. With more than 300 new features offered in Leopard, it is a temptation that existing MAC users find it hard to resist.

Get a closer look at the 8 most important (visible) features:-

1. New Desktop - The new desktop has a semitransparent menu bar and a reflective 3D Dock that perfectly frame your desktop picture. On the Dock, you will find a new feature, “Stacks“, that help you to organize your desktop neatly. One click and the stack springs open, revealing items in an elegant arc or an at-a-glance grid. It works with folders and downloads.
