Top New Features and Improvements in Leopard:
• Desktop: A neat place to work. Leopard brings a stunning new look to the desktop, and stacks provides a great new way to keep it clean.

• Quick Look: Look before you launch. Instantly view full-size previews of your files without opening an application.
• Time Machine: A giant leap backward. Automatic backup is now built right into your Mac. With a simple one-click setup, Time Machine keeps an up-to-date copy of everything on your computer — and if you ever need to recover a lost file, Time Machine will virtually take you back in time to find it.
• Mail: Think outside the inbox. Add style and elegance to your email with stationery, and stay organized with notes and to-dos.
