Mac OS X Snow Leopard: Das Missing Manual

release date: Feb 01, 2010
Mac OS X Snow Leopard: Das Missing Manual
Marketing-Abteilungen sehen das eigentlich gar nicht gern: Auf den ersten Blick hat sich bei Mac OS X 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") gegenüber der Vorgängerversion gar nicht sooo viel geändert. Es gibt nicht tausend klangvolle Namen für neue Features, die man als unentbehrlich verkaufen könnte. Aber der Fortschritt ist eben nur auf den ersten Blick minimal. Unter der Haube ist Mac OS X schneller geworden, zuverlässiger, leistungs- und zukunftsfähiger durch 64-Bit-Code und Mehrkernunterstützung - einfach besser. Die neueste Raubkatze von Apple ist also bereit für den Sprung in die Zukunft. So schnell kann das Kätzchen allerdings gar nicht springen, als dass es Dompteur David Pogue nicht doch gelänge, es auf Herz und Nieren zu prüfen, zu zähmen und ungeahnte Fähigkeiten aus ihm zu kitzeln.
