Leopard: Version 10.5 of Apple’s OS X operating system for the MacIntosh. Most changes are to the look of the desktop. You have stacks — icons that pop open displaying their contents in a fan (or optionally the traditional grid). The active window has a drop shadow. Cover-Flow while browsing folders lets you see a preview of the document. It can search all machines on a local LAN. It has Magellan-like Quick-Look to let you rapidly view files without loading the full application. Time Machine is an incremental backup of your entire machine that backs up any changes every hour to on external hard disk. It lets you support multiple desktops that Apple calls spaces. You can move apps between spaces in the bird’s eye view.
Unfortunately, it does not support Java 1.6, just 1.5. They have a Java release 6, but that is just an update to JDK 1.5. You wonder if some smarmy marketing guy was in on that one. Last revised: 2007-12-14
