Security Update 2012-002 is recommended for all users and improves the security of Mac OS X. The integration of Grand Central, OpenCL and a 64 bit kernel will finally allow them to take full advantage of the dual processing power of Intel Macs and produce some stunning applications. In addition, its also fair to say that developers will find much to be happy about about in Snow Leopard. The developer also has an application named Mountainduck which let you mount the path you want to a folder and access it through Finder app. You can support the developers by donating or buying it directly from the Mac App Store. If you're finding your Mac is operating increasingly slowly, then for speed alone it's worth the upgrade to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. It's a cross-platform (but native on mac) app that is full of features and it's free to use. Stacks has been improved to allow users to drill-down the contents of sub-folder completed an install in an incredible 13 minutes. May not be of much interest to single users but network administrators installing Snow Leopard on multiple machines can expect to install it in around 15 minutes compared to around an hour for Leopard. Mac users can now connect to Microsoft Exchange 2007 servers via Mail, Address Book, and iCal In an unusual (and some might say slightly desperate move) Apple included a beta version of Safari 4 with Snow Leopard presumably in a bid to give it a leg-up against Firefox.Ī smart business move that will surely attract more corporate users. Maybe inspired by the success of VLC Player, "QuickTime X" features a simplified GUI with a greater focus on codec supportįinder has a glossy new Cocoa Desktop Window and Contextual Menu
