Two neat small things in Leopard
Yesterday I upgraded my Macs to Leopard. The main reasons for the upgrade were XCode 3.0, Time Machine and BootCamp. I had been using the latter very robustly on my machines. I read rumors a while ago about the BootCamp beta program ending for previous OS versions once Leopard was released, and I haven’t had the time to double-check.
Two features that have not received as much publicity but were very pleasant surprises (I know, I never Read The Fine Manual) were the inclusion of the A2DP profile in the Bluetooth stack, and TextEdit’s ability to read OpenOffice .odt files.
Nice touch. As usual with Apple, new functionality is rolled out in a seamless, intuitive and non-intrusive way.
