Yea, But Not Change His Spots

Friday, January 26th, 2007

There are rumors that Apple will be introducing OS 10.5, code-named Leopard, at a special event on February 20. Gizmodo has some “leaked” screenshots, and the Apple website has a sneak peek of its features.

I don’t know how much of an upgrade this is actually going to be, but I am excited about one thing – Spaces. Remember when Exposé first came out in 10.3, and it seemed silly and superfluous, but now you can’t live without it? That’s the vibe I get from Spaces.

Of course, when 10.4 came out, Dashboard seemed indispensable, and now I never use it anymore. But I do a lot of multitasking, and I have a feeling that Spaces is just what I’ve been looking for.

I can’t get excited about Time Machine yet. Other updates seem minor. Any other suggestions on why I should get excited about upgrading?
