What’s New with<br />

<strong>Leopard</strong>?<br />

Apple boasts “300-plus innovations” in <strong>Leopard</strong>. Even if you are an experienced <strong>OS</strong> X<br />

user, that sounds like a lot of new stuff to learn. The truth is, many of these innovations<br />

are buried deep in the system, and while they in subtle ways improve how <strong>OS</strong> X behaves and<br />

interacts with the user, it’s often in ways that you may never consciously notice. This chapter<br />

aims to outline a few of the more significant changes in <strong>OS</strong> X, broken down into a few areas:<br />

• The Finder and the desktop<br />

• Safety features<br />

• Application enhancements<br />

• Developer tools<br />

• Darwin<br />

• Under the hood<br />

• Others<br />

A<br />

The first thing an experienced <strong>OS</strong> X user will notice upon using <strong>Leopard</strong> (Figure A-1) is that<br />

Window borders have changed, the Dock is certainly different, and the Finder and its contents<br />

appear to be different, too.<br />
