    Refined, not reinvented: OSX Snow Leopard


    Snow Leopard proves to be one bad kitty

    Anyone who follows Apple news knows of the release of their newest OSX Snow Leopard. This is to be an improvement on the current operating system by making minor tweaks and adjustments to the features currently offered. Scheduled to be released in September, Apple is offering this upgrade to Leopard users for only $29. Upgraders can expect to see enhancements to the finder including customizable Spotlight search options, and enhanced icon view that lets you look through multipaged pdfs and watch quicktime movies. Apple has also intergrated Expose with the Dock so you can move through applications and documents faster. For me the best improvment is the size. Snow Leopard will free up abot 6GB of space on your computer. If you ar designer like me you can use all the space you can get. It also is about 75% faster when shutting down and twice as fast when waking up from sleep. That removes my main reason for not shutting my computer down at night. They've also made a host of improvements to Quicktime, Safari, Preview, Mail and other applications. Read more about the enhancements on Apple's website. I'm sure once the OS is released, Apple will post an extensive video on their site on how to use it. Until then, c|net gives us a sneak peak at how this OS really works.
