All new features in Snow Leopard, costs $29

In May, we announced that Snow Leopard won't be coming to the Mac this June as Apple is not ready to ship the final release of Snow Leopard yet.

However, this didn't keep Apple from showcasing some of the new features of the upcoming most advance OS, the Snow Leopard. As already discussed by Apple, Snow Leopard is more like a refinement to Leopard than a feature upgrade.

The actual focus of Snow Leopard would be to refine the user-experience on Leopard and make it more powerful and efficient than before. So here is what's new in Snow Leopard:


  • A new Finder - It has been rewritten in scratch and is more powerful, better and efficient than before.

  • Better stacks - The signature feature of Mac OS just got much better and useful than ever before.

  • Dock Expose - Much like the original Expose, this new tool is meant for productivity.

  • Quicktime X - A new video tool for Snow Leopard that does everything from editing to composing.

  • More accessible - People with disabilities can now use their Mac with much ease and comfort.

  • Exchange Support - The new OS comes with built-in support for Microsoft Exchange Server.

  • 64-bit Power - Apps would now be able to make greater use of the multi-CPU.

  • OpenCL - More power to enhanced graphic applications and utilities.


Thats it! perhaps more will come when Apple actually launches the OS to the users in September this year.

It will be available at a cost of $29 for users already on Leopard. Apple here provides a detailed insight into the features and technologies used by Snow Leopard.
