Today is the day Apple releases Leopard, the next version of OS X. And here is a review from New York Times technology columnist David Pogue, the Thomas Friedman of tech journalism.
Pogue complains about some features that are probably configurable without serious effort - such as transparent menus, which he claims are hard to read. Dude, if Apple customers can hack the iPhone in, like, 49 seconds, they can figure out how to adjust this feature in the System Preferences. And if Pogue were worth one cent of the money the Times pays him to play with expensive shit, he would figure it out too.
Anyway, the other main features get very positive reviews. The first is a backup utility called Time Machine that has a trivial setup and a highly intuitive versioning system, so you can recover the state of the machine one hour ago, two weeks ago, etc. The second is a smooth virtual desktop system called Spaces, which every operating system should have these days. And the rest are the usual graphical bells and whistles Apple always comes up with (like a program that lets you browse through files without opening the application that created them).
Even better, unlike some other recent software releases... cough cough Vista cough - Ahem! Excuse me - the OS is not a total resource hog.
Want. It.
