Mac OS X Leopard Part 8: Wrapup

It’s been almost a month since Leopard made its debut and I’m just now writing up the conclusion to my review. What gives, you ask? I wrote it as several parts over about three weeks. I actually planned a couple more sections, but stuff happens, time marches on, and things have to be prioritized. So it goes.

Mac users waited over two and a half years for Leopard to emerge. I wrote two articles based on the WWDC previews of Leopard (one, two), and in both, my initial response was “meh.” In 2006, Apple showed off a handful of new features, but it was pretty clear that Leopard was incomplete. Some of the new features were pretty cool, like the new iChat and Time Machine, but Apple didn’t really mention a whole lot in reality. Steve Jobs promised “top secret” features would be revealed closer to Leopard’s release.
