  • Abstract:  If Leopard and Vista got in a fight, who would win? Well, one is a feline predator and the other is a view. While hardly comparable in those terms, solution providers need to consider how Apples latest operating system stacks up in comparison to Micro...

  • Abstract:  Theres not much in Leopard that you could call new, as in never seen before. What I see instead is what I call a revolution of evolution. There are many things that suddenly work better than ever before, or just more efficiently, or, in some cases, fi...

  • Several killer features; low system requirements; cheaper than most versions of Windows Vista
  • Time Machine backup app is limited in functionality; iChat has limited support for instant-messaging applications
  • Mac owners that like working faster and smarter will like OS X 10.5 Leopard. Upgrading to Leopard isnt absolutely necessary, but we strongly recommend doing so....

  • Time Machine makes backing up extremely easy, Cover Flow and Quick Look help users find files, Mail can create attractive stationery, as well as Notes and To-Dos, Improved parental controls, Works well on older Macs
  • Time Machine can’t back up to shared network storage, Stacks isn’t an improvement over old method of storing folders in the Dock, iCal still isn’t robust enough as a calendar
