Snow Leopard: Don't judge a book by its cover

Ah, Snow Leopard. The most advanced operating system on the planet as of 12AM on 8/28/09. But is it really a "new" OS, or just an upgrade to Leopard? To tell you the truth, its a brand spankin' new OS. It may look the same on the outside, and honestly it really does look like Leopard. But on the inside, not even close. In fact, only 20% of Snow Leopard will be Leopard. The enhanced Snow Leopard Finder was re-written from the ground up. Quick Time, also re-written from the ground up, has "quick trimming" like on the iPhone. So yes, you can now record from a video device and trim it up, right inside Quick Time, which is very handy. You can now save videos to the web directly from QuickTime. That means you can record, trim, and send to YouTube. Quick Time is even giving Screen Flow a run for their money by allowing you to record your screen. Mail, iCal, and Address Book have been re-written as well. All three apps now have MS Exchange support. In Mail, you can now compose and edit HTML email messages more reliably. Heck, Mail can now even detect flight numbers. iCal now automatically sets up your Gmail and Yahoo calendars. So you don't have to go back and forth.

That's only half of the new things inside Snow Leopard. Pre order your copy now! All you need to do is click here.
