With Leopard arriving in a few days, Apple has published a list of 300 new features. It’s a long and impressive list. Still, not all features are created equal. Some are there just to increase the feature-count (a “movie trailer widget in Dashboard“! Color me impressed!).
It’s not only the online feature list that might confuse people into thinking that Leopard is only an eye candy release or a minor update at most. Even some of the celebrated “top secret” features in the Keynote where simple redesigns of existing stuff and ho-hum updates to previous functionality. Make no mistake though: Leopard is a major update that sports some extremely usefull changes and additions. I have compiled a top 10 list of the most important features in my opinion. They might not be the ones you have in mind.
