I am now running on Mac OS X 10.5 (aka Leopard) it is absolutely awesome! I wasn’t sure that I would be, but as a developer and general mac user I do actually like it. It took me 40 minutes to install at 1pm this afternoon.
Here are my favourite non-dev features:
- Spaces: Having linux style workspace is really nice, and very much longed for
- Front Row: seems interesting, but I haven’t explored it much yet
- New Finder: iTunes style, but it doesn’t feel like iTunes… I was a bit worried about this before today.
Here are my favourite development features:
- Objective-C 2.0: Awesome, I look forward to getting stuck into it.
- Ruby, Python and PHP installed: Ruby and Python are even built into XCode 3 with a cocoa bridge, its awesome
- XCode 3: some nice additional features
Its ashame that we’re still on Java 1.5 (aka 5), I’d like to upgrade to Java 6 (aka 1.6) - maybe I’ll be able to do that soon.
Feel free to comment.
Thanks for reading,
Daniel
