It seems I’m merely relaying some other blog posts, but damn, this one is just too funny. Ihnatko’s humor is spot-on, and I like his analysis of how Leopard is about all the little things bundled together, as opposed to one single “killer app.”

Andy Ihnatko: What’s Leopard Really Worth?

I think the way to sum up the correct level of anticipation for Leopard is to compare it to a movie that stars Gene Hackman or Michael Caine. You know that it’s going to be worthwhile… but the coin’s in the air as to whether it’s worth seeing right away.

And my favorite quote:

And now we have the de-wussification of Mail. Mail was once a candy-apple red Mazda Miata. Now it’s a Ford pickup with a gun rack and a rear-window decal of a cartoon Calvin peeing all over the Microsoft Entourage icon.
