Mac OS X V10.5 Advanced System Administration (Apple Training Series) - Edward R. Marczak

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 ...

Review of Apple Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

The Best OS Apple created so far

Advantages: Very easy to install and use, more than 300 cool features
Disadvantages: none

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 ...

Review of Apple Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

One of the latest Apple Mac products - equipment and support

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. I would have rated it with 5 stars were it not for the support being less impressive than the product. Being a 'petrolhead' I compare the service with what I would expect from a vehicle dealership, and in the case of Mac it does not match up all that well. You get 90 days free telephone consultation when you buy the product, but this is not available at weekends or late in the evening ...
