Mac OS X is the world.s most advanced operating system.
Built on a rock-solid UNIX foundation and designed to
be simple and intuitive, it.s what makes the Mac
innovative, highly secure, compatible, and easy to use.
Quite simply, there is nothing else like it.
Power of UNIX. Simplicity of the Mac.
Mac OS X is both easy to use and incredibly powerful.
Everything . from the desktop you see when you start up
your Mac to the applications you use every day . is
designed with simplicity and elegance in mind. So whether
you.re browsing the web, checking your email, or video
chatting with a friend on another continent,* getting
things done is at once easy to learn, simple to perform,
and fun to do. Of course, making amazing things simple
takes seriously advanced technologies, and Mac OS X is
loaded with them. Not only is it built on a rock-solid,
time-tested UNIX foundation that provides unparalleled
stability, it also delivers incredible performance,
stunning graphics, and industry-leading support for
Internet standards.
Perfect integration of hardware and software.
Since the software on every Mac is created by the same
company that makes the Mac itself, you get an integrated
system in which everything works together perfectly.
The advanced technologies in the operating system take
full advantage of the 64-bit, multicore processors and
GPUs to deliver the greatest possible performance.
The built-in iSight camera works seamlessly with the
iChat software so you can start a video chat with a click.
Your Mac notebook includes a Multi-Touch trackpad that
supports pinching, swiping, and other gestures.
And the OS communicates with the hardware to deliver
incredible battery life by spinning down the hard drive
when it.s inactive, by intelligently deciding whether the
CPU or GPU is best for a task, and by automatically
dimming the screen in low-light conditions.
Elegant interface and stunning graphics.
The most striking feature of a Mac is its elegant user
interface, made possible by graphics technologies that
are built to leverage the advanced graphics processor in
your Mac. These technologies provide the power for things
like multiway chatting, real-time reflections, and smooth
animations. Fonts on the screen look beautiful and
extremely readable. A soft drop shadow makes it clear at
a glance which window is active and which ones are in the
background. You can preview just about any type of file
using Quick Look, and because the previews are high
resolution, you can actually read the text. Built-in
support for the PDF format means you can view or create
PDFs from almost any application in the system.
Highly secure by design.
Mac OS X doesn.t get PC viruses. And with virtually no
effort on your part, Mac OS X protects itself from other
malicious applications. It was built for the Internet in
the Internet age, offering a variety of sophisticated
technologies that help keep you safe from online threats.
Because every Mac ships with a secure configuration, you
don.t have to worry about understanding complex settings.
Even better, it won.t slow you down with constant security
alerts and sweeps. And Apple responds quickly to online
threats and automatically delivers security updates
directly to your Mac.
Built for compatibility.
The versatility and power of Mac OS X make it compatible
in almost any environment, including Windows networks.
It works with virtually all of today.s digital cameras,
printers, and other peripherals without the need to
manually download separate drivers. It opens popular file
types such as JPG, MP3, and Microsoft Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint documents. In addition, Mac OS X includes built-
in support for the industry-standard PDF format, so you
can read and create PDFs from almost any application in
the system . perfect for sharing work with colleagues
whether they use a Mac or a PC. If you want to run Windows
on your Mac, you can do that, too. And Mac OS X Snow
Leopard is the only operating system with built-in support
for the latest version of Microsoft Exchange Server, so
you can use your Mac at home and at work and have all
your messages, meetings, and contacts in one place.
Innovation for everyone.
Mac OS X comes standard with a wide range of assistive
technologies that help people with disabilities experience
what the Mac has to offer . including many features you
won.t find in other operating systems at any price.
For example, the built-in VoiceOver screen-reading
technology makes it possible for those who are blind or
have low vision to control their computer using key
commands or gestures on a Multi-Touch trackpad. Mac OS X
also offers out-of-the-box support for over 40 braille
displays, including Bluetooth displays, and many other
accessibility features, such as dynamic full-screen
magnification, playback of closed captions, and a scalable
screen.
Reliable to the core.
The core of Mac OS X is built on the same ultrareliable
UNIX foundation that powers industrial-strength servers,
helping to ensure that your computing experience remains
free from system crashes and compromised performance.
Even upgrading your Mac to the next version of Mac OS X
is reliable and easy. It checks your applications to make
sure they.re compatible and sets aside any programs known
to be incompatible. If a power outage interrupts your
installation, it can start again without losing any data.
Best of all, upgrading doesn.t require reformatting your
drive; you can keep all your compatible applications,
files, and settings. And if something goes wrong when
you.re using your Mac, Time Machine is there to keep
automatic backups of everything on your drive.
Fully featured, fully loaded.
Mac OS X comes in a single, full-featured version that
includes a large collection of beautifully designed
applications. They not only let you surf the web, conduct
video and text chats, manage your contacts, and accomplish
other day-to-day tasks . they also work together to make
you more productive and let you have more fun.
