Prepare For The Second Leopard Update

While Windows Vista struggles to have the first service pack released, Apple's Mac OS X "Leopard" got very close to its second update. According to various sources from inside the company, Mac OS X 10.5.2, the second update to Mac OS X "Leopard", is going to be the most significant update Apple ever released to Mac OS, so let's see what do we know about it at this time...

Rumors started to flow about the fact that this update to Leopard will include over 100 new features, and the most important of them should be the ability to share DVD/CD drives, as it was seen on the new MacBook Air, Time Machine's capability to use a disk connected to the Airport Express as a backup location (finally!), a drop down menu for Time Machine in the menu bar, the reintroduction of the backup to network drive feature to the same Time Machine, an option that allows you to turn on menu bar translucency in Desktop Preferences, as well as a bunch of other improvements and tweaks.

Pretty impressive, isn't it? Well, we'll have to wait and see how the new Leopard is going to look and feel for ourselves, and the good news is that the release of this update may happen in any moment, according to certain sources. Unfortunately, these sources are not official, and Apple doesn't say anything about the subject, as usual, so I wouldn't bet my life on seeing Leopard updated this week, or even this month. Anyway, no matter when this is going to happen, we'll keep you informed!
