Leopard...One Hot Kitty!

It's been a full week since I watched Steve Jobs Keynote at WWDC07 and I can't get it out of my head. For a little under 90 minutes I sat with pupils dilated in awe of the tinnest of morsel's being offered by the Mac team. A preview of 10 of the 300+ hot features on the not yet released new OS Leopard, left me wanting for more. I'm a sucker for organization and speed and Leopard definately appears to have those down to a T with new desktop 3D graphic organization with Stacks, Spaces, Dashboard and a new Finder that makes file sharing between computers in an instant. Browsing files is even easier with Quick Look allowing you to preview without launching the application and Cover View giving you the same preview of a file that iTunes Album View offers. Couple this with a system that can run both 32 and 64 bit next to each other and I'm going to need my own personal server. The hottest element for me though is Time Machine. As the name suggests if you lose a file you can simply activate the application and using the search box, step back through time and find the file that was lost and restore it. Goodbye RAID 5. This is amazing technology, but it also makes me wonder where we are heading as we become more reliant on technology to do the things we are just too busy to remember. Below is a beautiful little demo of some of the new features Leopard has to offer. Click on Keynote to see Steve Jobs do his thing.
