If you do land in Finder, enjoy being able to preview QuickTime movies within their thumbnails, or resize icons on the fly with a little slider bar along the bottom of each Finder window. But in Snow Leopard, you can click through files and folders without leaving the Stack in question. But if you clicked on a folder, for example, it opened Finder. Stacks were introduced in Leopard to let you browse a list of files or folders right from the Dock. OS X's Stacks are significantly better now, too. Minimised windows appear small at the bottom of the Expose view now as well. Instead, they're all intelligently sized and lined up proportionally to each other. Expose no longer presents a screen full of differently sized thumbnails of open windows when you've been working all day.

This is one of the more technical changes Leopard has undergone during its evolution to Snow Leopard.īefore talking about the guts of the system though, let's talk obvious changes. Unlike the older Core-based Macs, the Core 2 Duo computers support OS X's new 64-bit technologies.

Our Snow Leopard is prowling on a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo summer 2008 MacBook (and this writer's primary computer), with 4GB of Corsair DDR3 RAM and a 500GB Seagate hard disk. This school of thought underlies almost every other observation you'll make as you first explore Apple's new OS, because the largest alterations are curled up inside the very underpinnings of the system itself.

Mac OS X Snow Leopard is a deep old cove - the first thing you'll notice after installing it over Leopard is that little seems to have changed.
