The good: Elegant backup via Time Machine; Finder offers powerful navigation tweaks; novel workspace customization through Spaces' virtual desktops; integration with Web data and applications; Cover Flow visualizes file browsing; iChat Theater offers green-screen backgrounds and lets users access each others' desktops; Bootcamp included.
The bad: Leopard was afflicted in some cases by installation woes and application failures; some new features, such as geotagging, aren't obvious to find; users with older Macs can't run Leopard.
The bottom line: The grace of Leopard's interface enhancements makes productivity more pleasurable with a Mac, as more than 300 functional and fun features top off this update.

Summary: Now that I made my point. Stop wondering into the Window reviews and typing "This is not Mac OS." I know Windows is not Max OS and I have nothing against Mac OS. They both work well and have different advantages. I know how well Macs work with video editing and are more resistant to viruses and spyware. However, just like no one is bullet proof, no operating system is virus proof. Good security sweets are needed on both sets of operating systems. On the other hand, windows computers are better for gaming and much cheaper. Well, I prefer computers with the tower and apple over charges for their tower PCs. Finally! Apples are PCs! They are not this special super computer that works so perfectly it has evolved beyond a personal computer! Thank you.

I no longer think this review accurately represents this operating system.

I originally found the Mac operating system irritating and unfriendly. However, it grew on me. I use the computer lab at school to practice on the Mac Operating System. I still think Windows is more user friendly and Vista has some good ideas. It boils down to which I like more: the Windows Start button or the Mac Dock. If Windows steals the Dock idea, which Vista might have done, it will have both. I will have to find out how well Vista works and compare it to Mac OS.

Updated
Apple has yet again copied features found in Windows and marketed them as new ideas that they created, and people actually pay more to have the lies that Apple tells about their products.
