Leopard OS released, but will tombert install it?

Apple's newest OS is here at last! Introducing about 300 new features, 297 of which are stupid eye-candy you didn't need but will slow your computer down enough to make you want a new one. Examples: transparency at random places, and your grand-mothers favorite: horrid colorful HTML e-mail templates that will make your inbox look like Myspace:


Daisies! How cute is that!

The other three are:

  • Virtual desktops, which already existed since the Amiga, if not earlier. Look, this was probably in NextSTEP anyway, why was it removed in the first place!
  • A decent backup system. I have to admit, this has potential.
  • A built-in profanity dictionary. Will it include phrases like "Hey, this was in XP/DOS/HP-UX/C64/UNICS ... already", or "the Woz is a better guy than Jobs"?
