Mac OSX Leopard
The wait is over! Mac OSX 10.5 is here. I’ve been using it since Friday afternoon, and it’s pretty sweet. The main features are Stacks, Spaces, iChat upgrades, and “Time Machine.” Spaces is my favorite. It allows you to have up to four different workspaces. So, if you’re a multi-tasker like me, it’s awesome. You can be editing something in Photoshop, reading blogs in Firefox, playing a podcast in iTunes, and writing a document in NeoOffice, and you’re able to switch between all of the applications with ease (no more minimizing and maximizing).
I’m kicking myself a little bit right now, because you can buy Leopard for only $109.00 on Amazon. It’s the cheapest price I can find.

I’ve already upgraded my Macbook to Leopard and so far it’s working very well. The upgrade went easily and the tools are pretty cool. The ones I liked most are the new Finder that imports the Cover Flow function from iTunes and the new iChat which allows the insertion of images and films. If you haven’t upgraded yet, there are some interesting videos I’ve found that show Leopard’s new tools and effects:
