Panther

I installed and played with Mac OS X Panther yesterday as we have the developers preview at work. Whilst Exposé was very nice (and strangely practical) there seemed very little that had changed apart from a few interface tweaks. Certainly not enough to give OS X 10.3 a radical new name Panther. OS X 10.1 and 10.2 (Jaguar) are way too similar. It’s almost as if Mac have gone down the route of Microsoft and releasing new versions of Windows at the drop of a hat. Windows ME anyone?

Another cool feature was the fast user switching. As always Apple make it easy to share well with others. Hardly an essential though as most peole now have their own Mac and have little need for sharing.

Still it’s very nice 🙂
