Leopard about to pounce!

The latest (and greatest?) of Apple's OSX upgrades is just about a week away (10.26) and it looks like a winner. Apple says they've added 300+ new features and from the look of the guided tour, it may be worth the $129 upgrade. Some of the notable features include; Finder that now has Cover Flow (one of the views available on the iPod that allows you to browse cover art), Quick Look (allows you to browse through your files without opening them), Time Machine (an automatic backup feature with a cool restore feature), Spaces (a way to divide your screen real estate into partitions that you can switch between) and some cool new features in Mail and iChat. Take a look at the video and you'll notice some similarities to the Bump Top, Multi-touch, and Surface Computing demos that we watched in class a few weeks ago. Then, before Friday the 26th, post to your blog about the one or two features that would most likely make you want to buy a Mac (or, if you already have one, upgrade to Leopard).
