Leopard; likes and dislikes

October 28th, 2007 by Mike | Posted in mac os x |

So, as I go along this week I’m going to update this post with my likes and dislikes of Leopard. Here’s my initial list:

Likes:
1. The look of the default Mac Installer program
2. Stacks
3. The amazingly smartness of Spaces
4. Being able to see/modify Expose.app, Front Row.app, and a bunch of those previously hidden applications from my Applications folder.
5. Stacks
6. The fact that all of my applications (so far) work flawlessly
7. The new icons for my network drives and for my Time Machine drive
8. Tons of minor, yet noticable changes in the OS throughout the Finder
9. Menubar transparency.
10. How easy it is to run Time Machine… seriously, it’s so easy.
11. Stacks
12. My MacBook runs SUPER cool.

Dislikes:
1. After installing the Adobe CS3 suite that my .torrent files didn’t initially open in Transmission, but intstead in Opera which was hidden inside of Adobe bridge (not necessarily Leopard, but I thought I would let you in on that weird deal)
2. Not being able to unmount my external drives because they are in use (I did turn off Time Machine, don’t worry. It has to be something other than that.
3. First app not to work for me: MagiCal. Kind of pissed…

As I said, I’ll add more as more comes (and as I have more free time and less homework.)
