Bangalore, June 14

Apple Computers' latest version of its Mac operating system 10.5 or Mac OS X Leopard has been unleashed.

Scheduled to ship in October, Leopard introduces over 300 new features, including a new desktop and dock with stacks, an intuitive new way to organise files; an updated Finder featuring Cover Flow and a process to easily browse and share files between multiple Macs; Quick Look, a new way to rapidly preview most files without opening an application; Time Machine, a new method to easily and automatically back up and restore lost files or a complete Mac; Spaces, a new feature to create groups of applications and instantly switch between them; and enhanced iChat and Mail applications, which easily allow users to communicate even more creatively.

It costs $129 for a single user licence and $199 for the Mac OS X Leopard Family Pack - a single-residence, five-user licence.
