Operating system ring: Leopard 'compared gloves' Vista (period I)

The two latest operating systems of the two personal computers all have significant improvements compared to their predecessor version and their hearts 'believers'.

Officially released on October 26, more than 2 million copies of Leopard were sold in two weekends, which somehow confirmed its appeal. Windows Vista also made its 'people' open, open face with the sleek 3D Aero interface and many additions to bring new experiences, turning computers into central entertainment system devices at family.

Windows Vista is more polished than Aero, but the Flip3D feature is still clumsy.

User interface

Both Windows Vista, MacOS Leopard, have made significant progress compared to their predecessor with a graphical user interface. Mac users are always proud of the highly polished Aqua interface Apple. Meanwhile, slick Aero became the highlight throughout Vista's communications program. Both operating systems have a highly appreciated file preview feature (Quick Preview).

Although Vista has improved a lot, Apple's new operating system is still outperforming the user interface that has many disabled support features (Accessibility), easy to browse windows and expand. virtual desk (virtual desktop). Flip3D of Vista is quite new to Windows users but still seems clumsy.

However, Vista is superior in supporting tablet PCs. Leopard's Ink utility is too few to make the touch screen of the tablet not work well.

Leopard and Vista's included software are excellent in data backup tasks, team work, file content preview, voice identity and video conversation. The Windows Explorer upgrade version in Vista is quite powerful, proving to be superior to Leopart's upgraded Finder.

However, this is the only victory for Vista because Leopard 'leopard leopard wins most of the tasks like managing calendars, email, contacts, instant messaging (IM) and text editing. . Especially in word processing, WordPad of Vista cannot 'understand' the Word 2007 format, Microsoft 's own office suite application. Apple has added both Word 2007 and Open Document formatting to its TextEdit program.

Leopard is also superior to Vista in system tools. The absence of a System Registry also makes installing software on MacOS much easier and more user-friendly. Apple's new operating system does not require activation when it is installed, is capable of automation with predetermined scenarios.

Vista users can boast that it is easier to remotely access computers using Vista with Remote Desktop (only available in Vista Bussiness and Ultimate versions), but Leopard is no less competitive than VNC and X.

Network connections

Fileshare in the Finder screen.

Both Vista and Leopard are excellent in connection management. These two operating systems are ready with IPv6 addressing, configuration detection of data transfer protocols. Microsoft and Apple are all working hard to provide utilities to help connect to meet the needs of many types of users from low to high. Vista focuses on Network Center tasks, while Leopard divides them into Network Setup Assistant, Finder with AutoFS, Bonjour.

Leopard 'lost points' unfortunately compared to Vista in wireless network management because it did not show the wave line.
