An Introduction to Leopard
Leopard is the most recent version of Apple’s OS X operating system, the latest version of the software platform that powers Mac computers. Leopard introduces more than 300 innovative new features and enhancements to the OS X operating system and its built-in programs.
A Brief History of Mac OS X
Apple released the first version of its current operating system, OS X, in 1999, in conjunction with OS 9, which remained in production for just three years. This first OS X release for desktops, nicknamed Cheetah, was a complete overhaul of the graphical look and technical structure of Apple’s previous operating system, and many critics hailed it as a step above any operating system yet developed, including Microsoft’s Windows.
Since the introduction of Cheetah, Apple has released a major update to OS X every year or two, each nicknamed for a different wildcat: Puma v10.1, in 2001; Jaguar v10.2, in 2002; Panther v10.3, in 2003; Tiger v10.4, in 2005; and most recently, Leopard v10.5, in 2007.
