FINAL COUNTDOWN: Favorite Leopard Feature

EVERYTHING! I'm going to get my first mac in November and I'm so glad that I'm going to get to dive into a amazing os. Not to be off topic or anything, but won't it be funny when we look back in ten or so years and laugh at how we were soooo hyped about the outdated technology? It's hard to imagine how much greater everything will get!

 

Time Machine

iCal icon

 

iChat Remote Desktop • Spaces • Full 64-bit Support

May I please have 3 favorites?

iChat Remote Desktop • Spaces • Full 64-bit Support

 

iChat screen sharing.

 

Stacks

 

64-bit, Stacks, Spaces, Quicklook, icon for secured Wi-Fi, and pretty much everything else.

 

There are so many small improvements in Leopard, such as the path bar in Finder, data detectors in Mail, and a whole slew of other small and large improvements, but QuickLook is one of the most revolutionary features I can think of at least in terms of my workflow as a graphic designer.

 

i like spaces but i have question. Initially i was under the impression that it would act like mulitple desktops, which it does, but in a limited way. I thought the dock could be customized to each space. can it do that? Cos that would be way cooler.

I vote for 64 bit support, and if font book acts as a replacement for current font mangament software i would love that too.

 

Yea its really hard to imagine anything better then this now Im sure I´m gona laugh when i look back in time. Since I was new to computers in 2004, and mac´s in 2006 i haven't really could have seen back at things, and how great it is today...

 

Even though I'm excited about alot of the new features in Leopard, I'm more excited about Leopard server edition. The External Accounts feature is something that would work perfectly for me. Now I just have to convince myself to drop the money to upgrade to it.

 

You know, nobody ever mentions the notes, and to-do improvements. I am really looking forward to having this put into Mail, and into it's own database which will allow sharing throughout the system.

I also want the overall graphical improvements, and unified UI.

 

QuickLook. Time Machine will save your tush but QuickLook will be used to boost productivity daily.

 

here's my one favorite feature:
ichat screen sharing, spaces, and time machine


whoops, that's three.

 

Yep your MBP is a 64bit computer.

In real world terms it won't make much of a difference unless you use applications that require more than 2 - 4GBs of RAM each. That is not all applications combined, but per application.

95% of people will have no need for it (at least initially).

You may see an increase in a slight increase in speed due to the Intel processor design being better at handling 64bit code but nothing huge.

 

I second that one. That and well, just iChat in general. The new interface looks great!!

 

Unfortunately I know a grand total of 4 people who use AIM or iChat...MSN is the standard here, so its Adium FTW!

 

Time Machine...

Things I think I will regularly use;

Address Book maps,
Dashboard Webslip,
Stacks,
Back to my Mac,
Sharing from the Finder,
Icon Preview,
Folder Sharing,
AppleTV like interface,
iChat Screen Sharing,
iChat background,
Mail - Stationary
Mail RSS - could be cool,
.Mac Sync for Notes
Archive Mailbox,
New Airport Menu,
Preview,
Quicklook,
Safari Enhanced Find, moveable tabs,
Collage for Picture Screen Savers,
Tagged Downloaded Applications,
Spaces * Will rock,
Search shared Macs,

I am sure I will find other useful as well.

 

My favorite Leopard feature is the fact that it's finally DONE.

 

I can't wait until 10.5.11

 

You say that now, but when 10.5.11 is out you'll be ready to drop it in an instant for 10.6.0

 

AppleTV style Front Row and Time Machine.
