Apple leopard against Microsoft Vista in eight big ways

See the Software channel released last week compiled manuscript "Wait!" Five reasons not to use Apple leopard, even Apple China has called to claim disagreement over the text. In fact, let us listen to different voices, has been IT168 as a media platform adhere to the principle. At present, as the test prototype has not yet arrived, Apple China has also claimed that the unofficial source software for the evaluation is not recognized, in the face of this embarrassing situation, we have more choice of foreign authoritative media articles and views of the report to everyone, hoping to let you have more understanding of leopard.

"The giant wave of apples" is coming. The once-sluggish computer maker is now increasingly being courted by consumers around the world, thanks to the "halo effect" of the two products of the ipod digital music player and the iphone, moving to a more powerful Intel processor architecture, Apple's impeccable art-grade industrial design, coupled with a rich and comprehensive ilife software--not to mention Apple's perfect combination of art and security, the computer operating system Mac OS X.

Apple's sales soared by 42% in the global mobile market during the 2nd quarter of 2006 to 2007 2, according to IDC, the market research firm. At the same time, Apple has also firmly occupied the U.S. notebook market 8.8% of the market share.

Steve Jobs and his company hope this good growth will continue with the release of the new generation of Mac OS X operating system Leopard.

But in fact, the new OS X system is likely to extend beyond Apple's own brilliance, with its carefully polished new generation of user interfaces, enhanced system search capabilities, and a data recovery system called the Time Machine (plus many other powerful features), most likely from the OS X's biggest competitor to Microsoft's Windows Vista system is there to grab back a subset of the users. Since its release, the latter has been a snub to business users and individual users.

We believe that Apple's new leopard operating system must be able to attract a large amount of potential, internally shaken Windows computer users.

You want to know why this is? Here are the eight reasons we have listed for you:

1, the improved desktop environment

The desktop of the Leopard system includes a new, translucent "dock", a more visible activation window, and a more consistent visual sense across different areas of the system. However, do not assume that Leopard's new desktop environment is just a façade; "Stacking (Stacks)" is a new and iconic feature of the leopard system. It is able to automatically download the files, stack together like a book and make your desktop no longer messy; When you need to use these files, it can pop up from the menu bar with an elegant arc, or you can browse through the programs in a grid format. Users can even create specialized stacks for applications, documents, or entire folders that require quick access.

So how is vista doing in this area?

As with the leopard system, the Vista system offers translucent windows and vivid reflection images, thanks to a new aero glass graphical interface. More importantly, the new user graphical interface drives a series of powerful graphical display features for Vista systems, such as semitransparent effects, thumbnail taskbar, and Windows 3D browsing capabilities. Unfortunately, the Vista base version of the user is not able to enjoy these gorgeous visual effects.

Our point of view: Overall, we prefer the Leopard system stack function, any can let the messy desktop become refreshing function, will deeply touched us. We also appreciate that all Apple Mac users can benefit from this innovation in the user's graphical interface.

2. File Preview

Have you ever wanted to know what it is before you open a file? The quick look can fully satisfy your desire. You just highlight an icon and click the Quick View button (or press the SPACEBAR) to get a full-size, multi-page preview of the Word document, the QuickTime digital movie, or a PDF document that is extremely expensive to use for system resources.
