eWeek: Apple’s Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard offers enhancements for Mac business user

Wednesday, September 02, 2009 - 09:19 AM EST

"The 'Snow Leopard' evolution of the Apple Mac OS X operating system speeds up common tasks such as startup, offers a redesigned Finder and removes unnecessary software by changing the way in which printer drivers are installed," Cameron Sturdevant reports for eWeek. "For IT managers who oversee Apple in the enterprise, here is a look at what's new and enhanced for Mac business user."

"Mobile workers can still be productive with the automatic printer driver update feature and Snow Leopard's ability to locate and use nearby printers," Sturdevant reports. "The smaller Snow Leopard footprint is due in no small part to the fact that that OS does not copy all print drivers to the hard drive."

"Snow Leopard has built-in support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP1 rollup 4. If enabled on Exchange Server, e-mail accounts can be autodiscovered," Sturdevant reports. "Configuration is also supported over VPN connections, including support for Cisoc IPSec."

So far my only gripe is that I don't like the blue halo effect on windows when you hover over them with expose invoked.

Improving printer drivers? Well after having to deal with MS's byzantine printer drivers it's another of the plethora of reasons to use a Mac.

Absolutely agree. Everything else seems as honed as a katana blade, but that one element... just looks amatuer.

"Snow Leopard's ability to locate and use nearby printers"

This sounds like a comment from someone who hasn't used OSX before. Leopard and Tiger always had this ability (and probably the earlier versions but my memory is cloudy this morning).

I love blue halos.

MDN - you need to give more coverage to articles like this that are appearing in the mainstream IT press. When IT professionals read articles like this in the industry publications that they trust, they will be more favorably inclined towards Macs.

The Tipping Point has been passed, these articles will only hasten the change.

But Snow Leopard has not fixed the Times New Roman rendering problem when reading PDF files. One still has to use Adobe Reader to see these fonts properly. Come on Apple!
