Move over Microsoft. Vista looks like Windows 95 compared to Mac OS X 10.5. After seeing clips from the WWDC keynote I am officially blown away. The new technology that is being put into this new release is something Windows didn’t even think was possible. 10.5 will feature the ability to backup files and data integrated right into the OS. New Core Animation for applications will enhance graphics 100 times better. You will be able to create dashboard widgets on your own through safari using a special feature. The desktop mail application features stationary templates. iChat features major upgrades including backdrops for video conferencing, visibility, multiple logins, animated icons and much more. This release of Mac OS X is sure to please everyone and I believe sell more than Tiger. Developers will be receiving a preview today from the WWDC along with new tools. Expected release date, in Apple terms, is the Spring of 2007. Lets not forget that Apple said the Intel transition would be complete by 2007. It only took them 210 days from the day it was announced. I want to hear what Windows users have to say about the Apple releases. Take care all.
