Leopard Desktop improvements heavy on the eye candy


For All the Mac heads that can't get enough of the new OS X coming out. Here are some screen shots of Leopard in action. Apple takes a page from Microsoft's playbook and touts Desktop as the lead feature in the new version of OS X, Leopard - and all told it amounts to a bunch of pretty graphics and some animation.


Move a window towards the Dock and you'll see its reflection.
Check out more after the jump. [Apple]

My fav new features:

64-bit. Speed, baby.

Quick look. How many times have you looked for a file and didn't want to open the application 'cause it takes more time? So cool that you can peak into the file and not open the ap.

Boot camp. Yeah, it's not new, but a new feature's awesome. Instead of a fresh reboot for XP or Vista, it makes more of a hard sleep, saving your desktop before you switch OS's and making it much faster to return to your original OS.

Time Machine. Yeah, I back up to an external drive, but this is way better. You can wirelessly back up from several computers to one drive. You can look for that one file that you accidentally deleted much easier than browsing through that backup from yesterday. And it's animated with mac style.

Eye candy. Vista is so 10.4. This is much nicer.

Did I mention 64-bit?

I have to agree with Mike. Even though I have two versions of Vista, I would like to have one Vista and one Leopard. I know when I see it it's gonna blow me away.
