Today I had the opportunity to try out the latest beta of Mac OS X Leopard. My boss had just arrived yesterday from WWDC in San Francisco and he installed the WWDC Leopard build on our G5 in lab. I am happy with the way Leopard is coming along. I find myself wishing I had Stacks in Tiger right now because they truly are useful and helpful. I am extremely happy that Apple made the decision to get rid of the brushed metal interface and made the entire operating system look and feel the same.

If you are a hard core Mac OS X user, chances are you have heard of Quicksilver. Quicksilver is really hard to categorize as far as what kind of application it is, but if it is anything, it’s a glorified application launcher. Its faster then Spotlight in many cases when it comes to searching for an application that you want to launch. Quicksilver, with the use of plug-ins, can also open up folders, search the web, archive files, etc. Quicksilver can practically do anything and its designed so that your hands never have to leave the keyboard.
