âWith Leopard, Appleâs operating system widens its lead aesthetically and technologically,â states Ed Baig . Baig âmigrated to Leopardâ from Tiger âwithout pain on a MacBook laptop and my own iMac desktop; thereâs mercifully none of the software driver and other hassles associated with a Windows operating system upgrade.â Calling Leopard âone cool cat,â Baig praises Time Machine with its automatic backup and effortless file retrieval; the new videoconferencing features in iChat Theater; stationery, notes and To Do options in Mail; Cover Flow, Spaces, Stacks, and the ability to âhighlight and copy any portion of a Web page inside the Safari browser and turn it into a live Dashboard widget.â

The company said the Leopard sales rush outpaced that of its predecessor Tiger, until now the most successful Apple operating system. The two million sales figure includes copies of Leopard sold at Apple retail stores, Apple authorised resellers, the online Apple Store, under maintenance agreements and those copies bundled with newly shipping Macs.â¦

Mac OS X âLeopard is powerful, polished and carefully conceived. Happy surprises, and very few disappointments, lie around every corner. This Leopard has more than 300 new spots â and most of them are bright ones,â declares David Pogue (New York Times). He points, for example, to two âroutine-changingâ features. Time Machine, which offers âthe shortest setup of any backup system in history.â And Quick Look, which lets you âview the contents of a documentâs icon at full size, right at the desktop, without having to open the program that created it.â Pogue says âitâs fantastic.â

âIâve been testing Leopard,â reports Walter Mossberg (Wall Street Journal) and, âI believe it builds on Appleâs quality advantage over Windows. In my view, Leopard is better and faster than Vista, with a set of new features that make Macs even easier to use.â Among the more than 300 new features available in Leopard, Mossberg singles out as âmarquee featuresâ Time Machine, Cover Flow, and Quick Look.â And he was impressed that âevery piece of software and hardware I tried on two Leopard-equipped Macsâa loaned laptop from Apple and my own upgraded iMacâworked fine, exhibiting none of the compatibility problems that continue to plague Vista.â

Troy Dreier  gives Leopard 4.5 stars (out of five). Praising Time Machine, he predicts that âLeopard will be remembered as the OS that debuted Time Machine, the backup tool that changes everything.â Equally positive about Cover Flow, Quick Look, Spaces, Mail, Boot Camp, and iChat, Dreier concludes that âLeopard is worth the price for Time Machine alone, but the sheer variety of improvements and innovation inside this OS give you much more than your moneyâs worth.â

Even pouring rain and gusty winds didn&#39;t stop the Mac faithful from turning out for the release of Apple&#39;s Mac OS X Leopard at the Apple Store in New York&#39;s SoHo neighborhood Friday night.The sidewalk in front of the store and around the corner was a sea of colored umbrellas as about 200 people lined up to be among the first to purchase Leopard in North America. Those who hadn&#39;t prepared for the weather hunched under pieces of cardboard or just got wet as people bustled past on busy Prince Street and wondered aloud what all the fuss was about.The New York launch was part of a worldwide rollout of Leopard, which went on sale at 6 p.m. local time around the world Friday, beginning in Australia and New Zealand. Rain also plagued the&#160;Leopard launch in Tokyo, which marked the first place the OS went on sale at an official Apple Store, but didn&#39;t deter users from lining up ahead of the time there, either.A New York Mac enthusiast named Adam was first in line outside the SoHo store, saying he arrived at 2:00 p.m. and was joined about a half hour later by other Mac enthusiasts. Strangely enough, Adam, who owns three Mac computers and frequents Apple Stores when the company launches new products, was not there to buy Leopard. He merely wanted the free T-shirt Apple was giving out to people waiting in line to purchase the OS.&quot;They&#39;re difficult to get unless you live in Cupertino and can go to the Apple store,&quot; he said, adding that he would purchase Leopard in about six months after Apple had &quot;worked out the kinks.&quot;Unlike Adam, others shivering in line said they were there to be among the first to get their hands on Leopard. Still, it wasn&#39;t just the OS that inspired people to wait in the rain. Douglas Packer, also of New York, said that although he was looking forward to using Leopard -- particularly its new Time Machine and Spaces features -- he was also was there &quot;for the experience.&quot;&quot;Everyone&#39;s more excited about it, and being here with other people waiting makes it more fun than just a piece of software,&quot; said Packer, who works in video production.Time Machine is a new feature in Leopard that allows for automatic backup of files, while Spaces enables the user to create and manage virtual desktops.Another user waiting to purchase Leopard who gave props to Time Machine was Evan Herman, also of New York. But he also said he was &quot;probably the only person in line&quot; excited about the Back to My Mac feature of Leopard, which makes it easy for users to set up the ability to remotely log in to a Leopard machine from anywhere.Herman said this feature will make it easy for him to help troubleshoot problems on his parents&#39; Mac, which he finds himself doing often enough on the phone anyway.Herman switched from Microsoft Windows to a Mac three years ago when he left a position providing desktop support to PCs. He said he regularly joins the queue for major Apple releases and has stood in line for both the Tiger release of OS X and the iPhone.Leopard is the first major upgrade Apple has made to its OS in two and a half years. The software will be installed on all new Apple computers, or costs $129 for an upgrade. Apple has said the vast majority of Macs sold over the past four years will be able to run Leopard, as well as some older machines, depending on their configuration.
