I am not going to make this a very technical review. I could, but for most users what really matters is that an operating system is reliable, stable, easy to use and has some nice features bolted on top. The majority of us (myself included), use their computer for internet and email. Then you have to add on the ability to communicate in other ways, so word processing, presentations etc. Finally, most of us have digital cameras and/or camcorders, so the ability to get to our photos and movies is important. Well, Mac OS X Leopard offers all of this in a very user friendly package. You need an Apple Macintosh to run this operating system. Many users who have ...  Read the complete review

Leopard, otherwise known as Mac OS '10.5' is an upgrade to the Mac operating system. It comes two years after 'Tiger' impressed users with its multitude of new features. But is Leopard an upgrade in name alone? read below to find out. Firstly, Is your computer powerful enough? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - You'll need an Intel or PowerPC G5 Mac. A G4 Mac will run Leopard, but you'll need over 800MHz for it to work effectively. The installation process is fairly simple. When I installed Leopard from scratch, it took around half an hour to complete. You can customise the installation - and it's wise to do ...  Read the complete review

The Apple Mac OS X Leopard operating system is now the second newest operating system for Mac OS X. The Snow Leopard operating system was released on the 28th August, which is said to improve the speed of your computer as well as introducing some new features. However, older computers will have the standard Leopard built in, which I feel is an excellent update. This version has many useful features including one that lets 'MobileMe' users access their information and files from home whilst on the move. There is also a Boot Camp feature, which enables programmes running Windows XP for example to be installed on Intel-Based Macs, which means you can run Windows ...  Read the complete review

The best OS in the world to date, though that might be changed when Snow Leopard is released later this year. Neat, simple, and uncluttered, with fantastic features. Having used it for about a year now, I can report no crashes - it just works. Spaces is one of the best new features, as it allows those who run multiple programs to split them using virtual desktops. I use four virtual desktops to keep all my open applications organised but the settings allow the use of two to sixteen, or even just the one if you're not that fussed. Quick preview is also an excellent idea - it allows you to quickly look at a file and see what it contains - audio, ...  Read the complete review

This is the original operating system that came with my laptop. As I got it just before the new version came out my hardware is not being maximised by this product. It suffers from still using PPC compatible code which means the fact it can still run on older computers slows down the performance to new customers on new hardware. My laptop is never fully shutdown and in over a year has never crashed on me. This is a real achievement and something which I never got close to with my old XP system. The look and feel is really nice though some people might be scared off if you are too used to Windows. Apple know this though and the Apple stores will run ...  Read the complete review
