Los Angeles : Apple has released a new operating system for its ever more popular Mac computers.
The upgraded OS 10.5, nicknamed Leopard, was released Friday and includes some 300 improvements including a ‘time machine’ that tracks and resurrects lost data, and improved video-conferencing abilities.
The eagerly awaited system was delayed by several months while the company’s engineers worked on developing the iPhone.
Rival Microsoft, whose software powers 90 percent of the world’s computers, released its newest operating system, Vista, in January.
The release came just days after Apple announced record-breaking sales of its Mac computers, which analysts attributed to a ‘halo effect’ from the success of its iPod music players and iPhones.
