Leopard: Four Web 2.0 features we love (video)

Tomorrow may be the day OS X Leopard makes its way out to the unwashed masses, but we were lucky enough to get our hands on a (legal) copy of the operating system earlier this morning directly from the mother ship in Cupertino. Besides the snazzy new look and feel, the big things we wanted to get our hands on were all the Web features we've been drooling over. We picked four that we think people are actually going to use, including Web Clips, RSS feed reading in the new Mail app, Web search history in Spotlight, and Wikipedia as a part of the Dictionary application.

Just narrowly missing the cut was the GPS feature in preview, which we think is cool, but definitely not quite mainstream until more cameras get GPS integration. In perfect conditions, assuming your photo has GPS bearings in its metadata, you'll be able to see where it is on a Google Map, which we wrote about earlier this week.

Enjoy the video, and if you're picking up a copy of Leopard for yourself, be sure to check these new features out. For more Leopard News, visit CNET's Leopard page.

Good grief.

It's not "OS ex," it's "OS Ten."
That just drives me nuts.

I'll take "Faux Experts" for $200, Alex

ThePimento stole my thunder for beating you about the head and neck for
"Oh Ess Ex," but I still have to pile on.

The minute you said that, I didn't really care what else you said. We all know
that c|net doesn't believe serious people actually use Mac or Linux computers
- or at least you're willing to believe it from MS when they hand you the
checks, but don't insult us by contriving some sort of fake authority who
knows so little about Apples that he doesn't know the name of the operating
system.

You'd fire this guy if he said "Windows Twenty-Hundred." (Two oooh?)
OS X (ten!) has been around longer, and has never changed nomenclature.

Tomatoes, apples, oranges.

I've been a Mac user since the Puma days, and you'd be surprised to know that a good deal of CNET employees use Macs. If you'd like to complain about any inaccuracies included in the embedded video besides naming conventions, be my guest. Otherwise go troll somewhere else.

Also regarding Microsoft, Vista rated in the low to mid 7's, with ultimate topping out at 7.8. Leopard scored a solid 8.0 in its review (http://reviews.cnet.com/macintosh-os/mac-os-x-10/4505-3673_7-32058772.html?tag=blgs)
