I had pre-ordered the new version of Apple’s operating system as soon as it was offered and got pretty exited once I received confirmation it was dispatched.

I first did an upgrade on the Mac Mini. The process was straightforward and took about 40 minutes. Next in line was my MacBook Pro. As a preparation I had made a backup of all data on my MacBook (except for the blog entries I’m afraid) so I could do a clean install. From hitting the power button to a working desktop took no more than 25 minutes.

Some of Leopard’s ‘new’ features were about time (like the RSS reader in Mail or bluetooth A2DP support). But one of the most innovative features must be Time-Machine, Apple’s backup and restore solution. Nothing new to that you may think. True, but the way Apple has implemented this is unlike any backup software you have seen before.

After having worked with Leopard for a few days I think Apple did a great job.
