installs easily, and works with the software and accessories you already have. FEATURES: Desktop. A neat place to work. From the menu bar to the stunning new Dock, the Leopard desktop isn't just about design. It's about enjoying the time you spend on your computer and getting more out of it. Stacked in your favor - Take a look at your desktop. Is it cluttered with files you downloaded or saved there (somewhat less than) temporarily? You're not alone. Everybody does it. Time to clean house with Stacks--a brand-new feature in Leopard. Create Stacks from anything you want to access quickly from one place: a handful of documents, a group of applications, an entire folder. An eye-opening experience - The new desktop has a semitransparent menu bar and a reflective 3D Dock that perfectly frame your desktop picture -- whether you use one of the beautiful included images or customize it with a favorite from your iPhoto library. Mac OS X Leopard Desktop Dock Screenshot The Dock has a bright active-application signal, and the look of Leopard extends to all applications Finder. Give your files the rock star treatment. Now browsing the files on your Mac is as easy as browsing music in iTunes. That's the idea behind the new Finder in Leopard. You can access everything on your system by flipping through your files using Cover Flow or by clicking items in an iTunes-style sidebar. The sidebar steps up- Leopard brings new power to your old friend, the sidebar. Now items are grouped into categories: places, devices, shared computers, and searches--just like the Source list in iTunes. So with a single click, you're on your way to finding what you need. Search party - Combine Cover Flow with Spotlight and you've got one amazingly powerful search tool. Just type your keywords in Spotlight or specify search criteria, then browse through the search results using Cover Flow. Closer connections - With shared computers automatically displayed in the sidebar, you can find files on any Mac or PC on your network. You can even use Spotlight and Cover Flow when you search another Mac. And now, back to my Mac - Ever need something on your Mac when you were thousands of miles from home? With Back to My Mac and a .Mac account, you can connect to any of your Macs at home from any Mac on the Internet. Look deeper - From the Finder or the menu bar, Spotlight in Leopard lets you search for more specific sets of things. Use Boolean logic to narrow search results by entering AND, OR, or NOT in a search request.

After more than two years from its first Launched. The Mac OS X 10.5 a.k.a Leopard. Is the most flexible, powerful and easy to use OS. One of the greatest Apple ever released. The first Apple OS I lay hands on when I first bought the Black MacBook ever since I was a little kid still goofing off with Apple IIe BASIC language programming.
The Mac OS X 10.5 leopard is very easy to use, For those people who transform themselves into a first-timer Mac-User should adapt very easily using this OS. This UNIX based OS have lots of my most favorite key features. EVERY part of the OS is operated with just as easy as a click of your mouse.
My Favorite Key Features
* The Desktop
Organize your open windowed apps so easily, you can even have up to four desktop with each apps assigned to it using Spaces And up to as many app layers as you want
* Time Machine
This is a backup features that is configurable in your demand, backing up your system and data files is never been this easy. For you who have lots of file editing and then lost the document, you can easily browse back using Time Machine to go back to where your file is last edited.
System backup using Time Machine is also cool. Whenever you have a problem in the futre, for an example is Hard Drive failure. You wont need to worry. just purhcase a new HDD and restore the time machine in to the new HDD.. Boot it up and It will restore your system and data exactly the same as before your previous system crashed. Pretty cool isn't it ?
Note: I strongly suggest you have an external HDD to use Time Machine, and even better if you have the external HDD size is as same or even more than your HDD size in your device. For example, if you have a MacBook with 160GB HDD, then at least you have 160GB of Ext HDD for time machine. The theory is you can have any size of HDD for Time Machine since you can configure which data to backup using Time Machine. But is it better to just Backup your whole HDD ?
* Quick Look
This is a great feature to preview any documents or images or photos or anything without opening the Application software. just select the file and hit Spacebar you can have a quick look of the content of the file. For instance, you want to view a PDF document, you dont need to launch Adobe Reader to view it, just select the file and have a Quick Look, and you will see the entire content of the document. A very nice addition to Finder (Mac OS File Explorer)
* Boot Camp
First time I use this is so great!, you can have windows booted up in your mac. its so easy. But the only thing I dont like is, Boot Camp requires to make a seperate partitions (FAT32) in order to have windows run in your mac. A nice features though if you want to just boot Windows natively in your mac.
I Personally prefer using a Virtual Machine to boot Windows right in my Mac OS X leopard system :) So you can still use Mac Apps and windows Apps at the same time !
Security
The security of Leopard is absolutely great, set up your user access with privileges to secure your data. One thing I love the most, No need for an Anti Virus software installed ! If you set up the right configurations in your leopard, you wont be worrying about viruses trying to attack your system.
I have almost 2,5 years using Leopard, not a single virus dropped by attacking. Although there are some antivirus softwares for Mac out there, but I personally dont need them (yet at the moment .. for years..)
Installation
The installation will require very little "technician knowledge" just a few clicks here and there, then the installation process will start, and the next boot, you can start using your Mac.
Actually above features are just a tiny counts of more than 300 features available in Leopard. I'm just trying to explain and review the general features like above for you people who are interested to be a Mac User and try this sweet OS out !
Advantages: 64 Bit, New improved programs, Spaces, Time Machine, Stacks, Coverflow. Disadvantages: New 3d Dock can be annoying
OS X 10.5 Leopard is fast, stable and has a set of new features. Time Machine to back up and restore you files, Spaces to organize your desktop and keep you more organized, Quick Look to preview and browse your files without even opening a program, Stacks to keep you desktop clean and free from large amounts of files and to organize downloads, Cover Flow for a visually stunning way to browse you Pictures applications and other files. Parental controls ... ...the computer for days if you let them. Fortunately, Leopard makes it easier to set the rules. Just enter bedtime and time limits for using the Mac, specifying different times for weekdays and weekends if you wish. Parental controls can also log your kids' activities to help you keep them from communicating with people they shouldn't be. The log keeps track of websites your kids have visited, applications they've used, and people they've chatted with. ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Apple Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Advantages: Superb screen, superior speakers, huge capacity, multiplicity of functions, brilliant photo suite Disadvantages: A new 'language' to learn and company support not as good as one would expect.
We bought the Apple Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard recently. This cost a little under £1K from PC World (there are other outlets). The main reason why we bought this product is that we wanted to get away from the problems of 'Vista' and other issues with Microsoft Windows. This is a superb computer. It has a magnificent 24" flat screen and is very well constructed. It has a very impressive capacity and since we bought it in August it has run very well indeed. ... ...would need it. Terminology with Apple Mac is different from Microsoft, and they should provide a glossary of terms with the computer, which they don't. The manual provided is not user-friendly for over-50s (like me) as the print is so small; I fail to understand this obsession with instructions being in miniature! The best thing to do, if you are transferring from Windows to Mac, is to avail yourself of tuition at a Mac store during the 90 day period. ...

Advantages: Many new features, Full support for Windows Disadvantages: OS upgrades used to be free
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is the biggest update to the Mac operating system since OS X was first released. It is the first update that I would recommend purchasing on it's own rather than waiting till you need to upgrade to a new Macintosh computer. Some of the most useful features are Time Machine which is a one button backup system (it requires an external hard drive), Spaces, an application that helps organize applications when multitasking , and ... ...on Intel Macintosh computers. Bootcamp alone gives you the functionality of having a whole other computer if you need to run windows applications and don't wish to use a program like parallels or virtual PC that don't run at native speeds. Quicklook and Stacks in the dock are both excellent time saving features. Quicklook allows a small preview window to appear for almost any file type which shows the content of the file without fully opening it. ...
