The next operating system that Apple has coming out in September. Whats so good about it? Wow look at the price only $30 how is that? Here is my complete breakdown of the new O.S.
What is so good about it. Apple claims it will make you Mac experience smoother by making the whole thing simpler and faster. It will also be more reliable. Apple claims that its refined and not reinvented. Which to me is what I want. They have updated some of there standard applications. For example Finder. Those looks I thought were amazing are said to be even better now. It will take half the time to do a Time Machine backup. So if you have a large hard drive packed full it wont take as long. That wake up time and shut down time have also been changed to go much faster. Ever wanted to check your email quick. Well now the time it takes to join a wireless network has been sped up by 1.55x. The installation will also free up space on your hard drive. How does it do this? Well with new technology they have made the O.S have a smaller footprint. That amazing program called QuickTime has also gotten an update. Now if you want to enter a Chinese character instead of having to spell it with the new track pad you can just draw it with your finder. The quality of IChat has also been updated. The video chats are now 640-by-480 pixel. That great web browser called safari will also be more powerful and faster. File sharing will be more efficient while disk ejects will be more reliable. (All the speed updates were compared to Leopard.)
How is it only $30. Here is why. Apple believes that this is just an updated to Leopard and not a whole new O.S so why should we have to pay the price for a full O.S. I totally agree with that and think that if they charged it as a full O.S then there would be no reason to get it but because it is only $30 it is totally worth it. Do remember that this isn't released until sometime in September.
