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.

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: 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. ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Apple Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard"
Advantages: Facial recognition, Places, precision editor, iweb ftp built in Disadvantages: not enough slideshow themes in iPhoto, faces can be a bit awkward at times
the mix: new templates, new widgets and Facebook integration- similar to that features in iPhoto, you have an upgrade just about warranting a release. It really depends on how much you use iWeb.
So, overall..
iLife 09 will be priced as follows: the single user license will be priced at £69, and the five user, family pack at £85 and of course, it is free with every new Mac purchased after iLife 09?s release. It is also very important to note that this upgrade requires the latest operating system, MacOSX10.5.6, i.e. Leopard, which can be bought on its own for £83, but is available along with iLife 09 and iWork 09 (Apple?s equivalent of Microsoft Office) in a Mac Box Set, all for just £149 saving you 40%. So as usual, the pricing is very fair, and even quite cheap considering its competitors, but should you upgrade? Absolutely. i ...
