Mac OS X 10.4.10 Leopard Update

By Ahson Rafiq in News on 18th May 2007

The latest news on the Mac OS X 10.5
Leopard is that Apple has decided to push back the release until October 2007.
The current system that Mac has out now is the OS X 10.4 Tiger Operating
System. There are still some changes and repairs that have to be made and the
dot ten software will be used to repair it. The creators of the Mac want to
stabilize the software to the Mac OS X 10.4.10; they want to get it to where it
will be able to send copies of the software updates to the Apple Developer
Connection.

Like any good company Apple is not
releasing the details of exactly what needs to be repaired or what features
they wish to improve upon. A company executive has said recently though that
they expect to provide an answer for one of Mac’s audio related problems. Along
with these changes in the Leopard Os X System. Experts say they may want to use
the future updates of the Tiger to help lend the Leopard software to support a
series of hardware updates that is said to have new Mac Book Pro Notebooks and
a redesigned 20 and 24” iMac all in one desk top.

In actuality, the updates to the Tiger
were intended to launch into the next phase of the Leopard operating system but
with the launch date for the Apple iPhone being released in June, the work on
the Leopard turned into many months of delays. The Tiger was last updated in
March around the same time it released the Mac OS X 10.4.9 and those enhanced
features were camera RAW support, improved DVD playback features and enhanced
Bluetooth Support. 

The Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard is available
for Apple Developer Connection subscribers and used fro beta testing only. The
completed version is being set for launch in 2007 WWDC in October. The company
has yet released a list of the features it has yet to change but the system
itself is said to have a 64 bit graphical user interface applications and an
automated back up utility called the Time machine. Other features are said to
be Dashboard Enhancements, iChat Enhancements, iCal which is a calendar for
sharing and group scheduling.

Spotlight is included which is being
incorporated into an additional search capacity such as Boolean operators and
with the right permissions it will search other computers. It will have Virtual
desktops which separately are called Spaces. The Leopard is expected to have a
software assistant called Boot Camp. This has been available as a beta release.

This newest system will have the
compatibility of PowerPC and Intel Macs. The Leopard will support PowerPC G4
and PowerPC G5processors but it is not clear yet if it will support the PowerPC
G3. Insiders have said that the postponement of the Leopard is a good thing
because it may not have been so successful with the June release of the iPhone.
We will have to wait until October 2007 to find out.
