Not Compelling
Published on Tuesday, October 30th 2007 at 9:58 pm by FoxBoom!
Since the list of the 300+ new features in Mac OS 10.5 was published, I’ve been telling anyone who’ll listen that it seems to be a great upgrade, but not compelling enough to buy immediately.
Time Machine’s gonna be a life-saver, but who cares about the new Mail stationery? QuickLook will be marginally useful, but the semi-transparent menu is awful and the new dock really fucks me off.
Now, the new Finder is pretty interesting, the new security features are comforting, and the speed and stability improvements are… wait, was I going to say “compelling”?
Oh dear, I appear to have just bought a copy to arrive before 1pm tomorrow. See y’all on the flipside!

*Giggles* I bought the family pack for delivery last Friday at 10:30 AM EST. It arrived 30 minutes late. I’ve updated four of the five machines I own. Only one gave me some problems, and that is because the application Lotus Notes has not been updated since 2005… everything else is wonderful, and iChat is amazing in this version!
