Ever since Ars Technica was eaten by Conde Nast they’ve broken new ground with their reporting and – eh, who am I kidding. I haven’t been to their site in a a few months. However, they have written a 23-page article about Snow Leopard, a feat the boggles the mind and stiffens the clicking finger.
The money shot is basically this:
Snow Leopard is a unique and beautiful release, unlike any that have come before it in both scope and intention. At some point, Mac OS X will surely need to get back on the bullet-point-features bandwagon. But for now, I’m content with Snow Leopard. It’s the Mac OS X I know and love, but with more of the things that make it weak and strange engineered away.
The rest is pretty detailed and a good read if you’re into Snow Leopard. If you’re not, just pick up a Henry Miller book. Same length and intensity but with more sex.
I agree.It is really a advanced OS.Windows tech is way behind.
The review is one of the few worthwhile articles posted about Snow Leopard. It collects just about everything about the new cat in one place.
I’ve yet to find a similar take on Windows 7 that dives as deep as this article.
The Guardian had a great Snow Leopard review if you’re looking for another one: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/aug/27/snow-leopard-review
I’m really digging Snow Leopard, but I have my fair share of qualms as well. Check them out here:
