Apple's Snow Leopard: An Evolutionary Step Forward

As IT managers, upgrading to a new operating system can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to ensuring minimal impact on resources for training or installation. However, Apple's latest version of Mac OS X, Snow Leopard, promises to make this process seamless with its refined user interface and built-in application enhancements.

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard with only minor hiccups in application recognition, and I was impressed by the overall performance and stability of the new operating system. As an evolutionary step forward, Snow Leopard builds upon the 64-bit based architecture of previous versions, resulting in a faster and more efficient computing experience for Mac business users.

One of the most notable features of Snow Leopard is its built-in support for Microsoft Exchange Server, which has been widely touted as a major advantage. However, it's worth noting that this support only extends to Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 Rollup 4. Despite this limitation, IT managers should still consider upgrading to Snow Leopard at a cost of just $29 for a single-user upgrade from OS X 10.5.
