Leopard ready to pounce
Boy, am I excited! Mac OS X Leopard is set to arrive on October 26th! This is one of those rare times when I’m actually excited about a software release. I just bought a Mac Mini not too long ago and have officially switched away from my old PC to the Mac so Leopard will most certainly be a welcomed upgrade.
I used to be a Windows guy. I’ve used Windows since the day Windows 95 came out and I’ve upgraded and used every Windows OS since then. Buck stopped when I started beta testing Vista. I’ve never seen anything so horrid since Windows ME. This is probably the first time I’ve ever told others to not buy a computer with a specific OS on it. Vista is just that bad.
Switching to a Mac was inevitable in my case. I’ve been a PHP developer for a couple of years now and, as such, use a lot of open-source tools that tend to cater to a Unix/Linux environment. Being that the Mac OS is Unix-based this makes it perfect for anyone doing a lot of open-source development. Granted, Linux distros like SUSE and Ubuntu are good too…but they’re just not as good as the Mac OS for doing things like editing videos and photos and such.
So…very soon, my Mac experience will be nearly complete. Already have an iPod, iPhone, an old MacBook G4 (which I plan to sell), and a new Mac Mini. Topping it off with Leopard will just make me into that much more of an Apple Fanboy!
