Mac OS X Leapord
All I can say is wow!
I can't wait for the release! I see how they are trying to get mail to act a little more like outlook... |

One of my concerns with it would be security... like if you deleted a file because you really wanted to delete it, and anyone can pull it up, not just the cia... I hope there is some type of security that you can add to it |

I know that when I search Spotlight for files, there are always several files that pop up which I know I have deleted, they show up with generic doc or app icons, etc. So maybe time machine will keep a record of files, but will offer to "expunge" the records if a user prefers. -Sal

I hope they have compression so it doesn't let you only go like 2 months in the past but much, much longer....

I have to admit that I'm less than impressed. A pretty face on back up software in nice but other than that there isn't really anything compelling that hasn't been in other *nix versions or groupware for a while.
I'd like to see spotlight have a simple duplicate file finder that the administrator could use across user accounts to limit duplication. It could be implimented with a common space for the actual file and simple links for easy user access. Editing the file would, of course, require some tricky manipulation with either revision control or fork creation depending on certain attributes.

I like a lot of things about Leopard. I'm also dying to find out which feature(s) Steve Jobs is holding back for now, to give the copy cats less time to catch up. |

I think the whole WWDC was just awesome... We kicked back in the office and made a night out of it (since there was no more live broadcast) Between the Xserve, Mac Pro and Leopard, all I have got to say is wow... And as far as data security, when you delete a file, it is still there... Until it gets written over a couple months later... There just isn't a program that ships with the OS to make it soo easy to view...

Not a Mac hater here, but I do think it is slightly hilarious that apple has pushed all these different versions of their OS as upgrades when all they really contain are a few new apps that would have been powertoys in an MS OS.
