 Apple, the standard in personal computing August 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Apple has long passed Microsoft as the best operating system maker. With Leopard, they have taken another major leap forward. Features such as spaces and time machine are only the tip of the iceberg. What I like the most about Leopard is the ease of use and reliability. It starts up and shuts down in under 15 seconds. It doesn't freeze. I never need to reboot it. I haven't even considered ever having to reinstall. It simply works. And I've been a windows user for a long time; I wouldn't touch macs before. Now, I dread having to use windows.
A few other things i really like about macs:
1. I can still run windows xp or vista alongside Leopard. And Apple provides ALL the drivers you need to run windows on one CD. No need to go searching for one. Its even better than buying vista and installing it on your pc. And the mac computers run windows better than any pc I've ever owned! I can even run linux if I wanted to.
2. Using Fusion, a software for running virtual machine, I can run windows on top of mac. This way, I can run windows as a program right on top of the mac os. I can even customize it and decide how much resources to allot to the virtual machine. Can't beat that. One note: as with any virtual machine, it never runs as fast or smooth but its more than acceptable.
Mac OS Leopard August 3, 2008

Product is fine. Easy to work with. I hate that there is no Internet Explorer capabilities using this. I am not an IE fan but some of the sites I MUST use in my work require me to use IE and there is no way with Leopard. A bit disappointing from Apple.
Review of Mac OS X v. 10.5.1 Leopard July 25, 2008

I like this product. I was intentionally slow in switching from Tiger because Leopard was a major upgrade, and I wanted to wait until the most important debugging had happened. There were several updates to install after I registered the system, but they were very easy, as is usual with Apple products. I have had no problems installing or operating this system. Using it is enjoyable and very intuitive.
OS X - the most beautiful OS ever. July 20, 2008

Simply put, OS X is years beyond any other current OS on the market, period. As a professional graphic designer / developer I can honestly state that OS X has more flexibility in terms of customizing the OS than any other system offered. Some may argue Linux as the ultimate mod-box, but, the problem with other OS mods is you simply will not have the quality that is inherent to the OS X experience. Apple is truly a master at taking insignificant aspects of the OS and prioritizing the way it is projected to the user. Color, depth, ease of use, virtually NO virus/spyware vulnerability, UNIX availability, etc, etc, It's all here, in one solid package. For current Windows users considering the switch - you cannot make a better decision - if you want to work on your computer and not for it - OS X is the system for you.
Best Ever July 19, 2008
Wow this is a must have .... Time Machine alone is worth the price of admission .... Tiger was good but Leopard goes beyond ....
Apple is quick to update too .... Best ever - A steal at twice the price !
