Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

Advantages: Latest Release of Mac OS X; Cheap for those upgrading from Leopard
Disadvantages: No support for PPC processor (which is understandable, however)

many there are in there) of your files. Which is useful instead of having to click on the Finder. Overall if your moving from Tiger to Snow Leopard, it may be worthwhile with some of its cool new features - and because Tiger is getting a little old if I may say so myself - nevertheless, I think its a worthwhile upgrade for Leopard users, at around £25/$29 its worth it for the long run. If your transitioning from a PC to a Mac with Snow Leopard, I'm sure you'll appreciate the graphically stunning interface although may take some time to get use to the differences. The major difference is the mouse tracking speed; each operating system uses a different tracking algorithm - Windows uses a different algorithm to Mac OS X. Mouse tracking / speed may take some time to get use to in OS X, due to OS X's different algorithm. ...

Review of Mac OS X (v10.6) Snow Leopard

Mac OS X (Complete Package)

Advantages: Very similar to Windows XP
Disadvantages: Very different from Mac OS 9

purchasing this. When I installed this onto my Mac I had only one software compatibility problem and that was with a very old archiving program I had been using - other than that it was all ok. I have resolved my compatibility problem by not spending out money on a new archiving program but by creating 2 start-up discs on the one computer - there for on the Mac at the moment I have OS X and OS 9 installed but on different discs so as to not interfer with each other.

Review of Mac OS X Panther 10.3 Complete package

Mac OS X Leopard

Advantages: 300+ new features, time saving, great system!
Disadvantages: none?

I bought a new Powerbook earlier this year which came preloaded with this, the latest mac operating system. The new interface is great! it comes with extra programs including boot camp, this allows you to run multiple operating systems from your mac, on start up you simply hold the 'options' key and the choice comes up of which os you boot from, i thought it would be very slow, but it works at regular speed and works seamlessly! its like having three separate computers! a mac, windows and Linux all at once! Another new feature is 'quick look' you can view a file in a scrolling album style interface without actually opening them, works the same with music and video, this is very good and saves opening programs constantly. It can zoom so you can view and read word, excel and PowerPoint docs without actually opening them! Time machine is ...
