Leopard rocks!

October 25, 2007 | 1:31 pm

leopard screenshot thumbnailI just did a clean install last night, and Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) rocks!

It looks amazing, and the best operating system did indeed get better.

I really like the stacks in the dock! I used to have shortcuts on my desktop for easy access to certain folders, but now, with the stacks, it’s even easier.

And there are quite some details that have changed as well. For example the lock icon under the AirPort menu, that differentiates the secured wireless networs from the unsecured.

The preview window in finder is amazing as well, and PDF files are rendered in milliseconds using the new version of preview :D

I do have to get used to the little lights in the dock, that show which programs are active. I kind of liked the old way better, but I’ll probably just have to get used to it.

update: Installing Leopard seems to have solved the DHCP issue I had with my new access point, but I’m not sure whether it’s the reinstall itself or Leopard that has solved it.. Anyway, I’m happy..
