I’ve been using the latest version of Apple’s OS X operating system, Leopard, for around three days now and I am quite sure that this is the best operating system I have ever used. It is beautiful to look at, packed with awesome new functionality and actually runs faster on my aging G4 Powerbook than its predecessor, Tiger did.

It has been updated with a new sidebar that makes browsing around your computer and attached resources really easy, as well as the ability to flip through your files with Cover Flow – a visual navigation tool that you really have to see to appreciate.
