Now, let’s say you’ve been downloading pictures of your favorite actor or actress for your side project as an “entertainment blogger” and you want to find a specific picture from the downloads folder. Doesn’t sound like an entirely innovative idea, we know, but trust us: After a few downloads you’ll start to love it. You’ll know exactly where your download went, and you’ll know exactly where to go to get it. Any download you start will automatically go straight into your download folder, so no more forgetting whether you chose Desktop, Pictures, or some other location to save your file. Forget the days where your desktop would be cluttered with PDFs, PSDs, and DMGs. This feature kind of broadsides you, because you don’t need it until you actually download something. We’ll cover most of these later on, but let’s look at the Downloads folder next. After your initial startup you’ll have new icons for Spaces, Time Machine, Systems Preferences, as well as a Downloads folder icon. Once you’re done minimizing and maximizing windows to see the cool effects, you’ll notice that the dock has some new functions. Oh, and did we mention that it’s reflective? You’ll immediately notice that the dock is laid out differently in the sense that it’s now more “3D” as the icons are laid out on plane rather than a backdrop. We mentioned the dock a bit earlier simply because it’s worth mentioning. That said, let’s look at some of the fun new features. The following items will be in no particular order simply because people use their computers for different reasons and our number 1 might be your number 10. We want to outline some of the more significant upgrades and 10 things you’ll love about Leopard. Once you can get past the pretty, shiny things, you start to notice some amazing functionality. We think it’s safe to say Apple junkies were expecting something pretty, because if there’s one thing Apple is known for, it’s their impressive design.
Not just the new dock or the new login screen, but also the folders and the crisper, sleeker look of icons and folders. (See our introduction to Leopard and some of our favorite Leopard features.) The first thing you’ll notice is the new look. It’s been a couple months since Apple released its new operating system Mac OS X Leopard, and that’s more than enough time to give it a nice once over.
