Snow Leopard
Sunday, 29 November 2009
Apple released their latest version of their operating software in August 2009.
Named OS X 1.6 Snow Leopard, this takes 10.5 Leopard and turns it fully 64bit, slimming down the code, saving large amounts of disk space and fine tuning the whole system.
Having used it now for a number of months, there are still a few little bugs surfacing here and there but generally the experience is as perfect as Leopard.
The one thing you really notice about this cat is it’s speed. Snow Leopard slices like a hot knife, making the operating system extremely fast.
Navigating and working within the system really is quick. Once I get into the flow working in Photoshop or After Effects, I tend to work fast, fast, fast and the Snow Leopard definitely keeps up with me.
The upgrade cost me £25 and it was well worth the money.
