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

Rating it at 4.5 stars, Mike Curtis  calls Final Cut Pro 6 a âsolid upgrade featuring greater ease of use and enhanced workflow flexibility. For users of previous versions, the decision to upgrade will be a no-brainer, as the new ProRes and Open Format Timeline features alone are worth the price of admission. And when you factor in the new features of the suiteâs other tools, especially Color, which was a $25,000 application before Apple acquired the technology, Final Cut Studio is an excellent value. For Mac users considering buying the suite for the first time, Final Cut Studio 2âs speed, flexibility, price, and capabilities put it in a class by itself.â
