Hasta La Ideas

During some down time in the office yesterday, PJ and I started talking about how excited we are about Snow Leopard’s release in September. From where we sit, it seems to be a major improvement to the Mac operating system. At the end of our talk, we concurred that there are:

5 ways Snow Leopard will help you unclutter your Mac

1. Snow Leopard occupies roughly half as much disk space as Leopard, so upgrading will free up about 6GB on your hard drive.
2. Because Snow Leopard supports Exchange right out-of-the-box, you won’t need to run Entourage if you need to access a company Exchange server for mail and calendaring.
3. Snow Leopard integrates Exposé right into the dock, which lets you more easily keep track of and move between open windows in a particular open application.
4. Stacks are scrollable in Snow Leopard. You can also navigate through folders in a stack to see the files inside them.
5. Finder has been completely rewritten, and we’re particularly excited about customizable Spotlight search options, which should make finding files even easier.

Are you like us? Are you looking forward to Snow Leopard? We’re definitely interested in seeing if the reality will live up to the hype. Just a month to go …

The upgrade from Leopard is now available for pre-order from Amazon for only $29. Family upgrade packs for 5 users are also available for $49 if you want to save money and have several Macs in your home.
