New Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
The new operating system Mac(A1185) OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard has already sold 5.6 million copies within weeks of launch. A hit , even for unexpected company in Cupertino. Sales have almost doubled compared to its predecessor (Leopard ) and quadrupled compared to Tiger. But the real battle will be held a month or so, when will be on store shelves also house the new creature of Microsoft , the much acclaimed Windows 7. We’ll see.
Meanwhile let’s enjoy the new Mac OS analyzing all the news. We start from the beginning: the installation. Less disk space required and the procedure 45% faster than Leopard (Max X 10.5). Really bad. The kernel , the heart of the OS, is 64 bits, used mostly in servers, while in 32-bit home systems will remain to avoid incompatibility, but also because , let’s be clear , it is useless for a home user to have 32 GB of memory (this is the advantage of 64-bit kernel ). Other important features : support for connecting to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 , support for a theoretical maximum of 16 TiB RAM ( stuff from ” Back to the Future !). QuickTime X for optimized codec modern , optimized for Safari 4 JavaScript and HTML , technology and engine SquirrelFish Nitro. Space to parallel programming with the Grand Central Dispatch : developing applications for multi-core processors will be much easier. Also new is the OpenCL ( Open Computing Language) through which you can create programs using the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit or processor video card ) and then exploiting it for non-graphical operations.
Improvements for the Security: The Snow Leopard integrates a feature that alerts you if it is downloading from the Internet or trying to run virus software and loaded into memory is allocated at random to avoid any type of computer(Sony VGP-BPS9/B) attack. Even the GUI had its fine retouching. Cupertino engineers have done a great job. To support the marketing of safe were also prices , very competitive.
Just $ 29 to upgrade a single computer(Toshiba Satellite A100 battery) the new version of Leopard , $ 45 for a family pack (5 locations ) at the time, for a single update to Leopard it takes more than 100. That this is the right time when Apple is able to beat the fierce competition of Redmond ? Expect to see “Windows 7 “, and then draw our conclusions.
Minimum System Requirements issued by Apple for the proper functioning of MAC OS X 10.6: Mac computer(A1189) with an Intel ( IA32 Processors such as ” Core Solo ” and “Core Duo ” will be limited to 32-bit , x86 processors with next -64 will be able operate in 64-bit mode ), 1 GB of RAM , 5 GB of free disk space , DVD drive for installation ( not necessarily be part of the computer , eg. Macbook Air). Snow Leopard does not support PowerPC -based Macs (eg, Power Macintosh , PowerBook, iBook , iMac (G3 , G4 and G5 ) , eMac and Mac mini prior to 2006). For some specific applications such as H.264 hardware acceleration support in QuickTime and OpenCL are required GPU with unified shader architecture (NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT , GeForce 8800 GT , GeForce 8800 GTS , GeForce 9400M , GeForce 9600M GT , GeForce GT 120, GeForce GT 130. ATI Radeon 4850, Radeon 4870 ).
