Apple Will Launch the New Leopard OS on October 26
Posted October 17th, 2007 by Mihnea Boiangiu
The ultimate version of Leopard OS will debut in stores on October 26, four months later than it was planned. The new operating system has 300 new features and costs $129. As Steve Jobs said, the Leopard OS is “the best upgrade we’ve ever released.”
Besides the regular functions, Leopard has an application that automatically backups music files, pictures and everything a person will put on his/her Mac. Another new feature is the tool that creates widgets for favorite sites and places them on the desktop. Leopard allows users to remotely search for files on all computers connected to their network. The iChat application was modified so the users could share slide show presentations, distort their pictures or insert fake backdrops.
The release was delayed due to iPhone launch. Originally Apple planned to release the new Leopard at Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco in June. But its engineers worked for the iPhone’s big launch.
