09.08.09 Mac OS Is Gaining More Flexibility For Business Environments  By
Bill Ives
I am a long time Mac user so I was pleased to see 10 Reasons Snow Leopard Is Ready For Business. Now I started using Lisa before it was announced to help develop some of the training for it. Then I used the early desktop Mac. After a long break forced by several employers, I am now back with a Mac as I make the buying decisions for my enterprise of one. Here are some of the ten more reasons to use a Mac for your business (from PCW) that I like. In Windows data restored from the Recycle Bin is automatically restored to its original location. With Snow Leopard restoring to the original location is now an option on the Mac as well. Snow Leopard adds the ability to sort Spotlight search results for more efficient searching. You can sort search data by name, date modified, date created, size, type of file, or label.
When printing Snow Leopard displays the printers that are detected nearby, enabling you to identify and configure the best available device for printing your document. When a printer is connected Snow Leopard connects to the Internet and downloads the most current driver for the device The menu bar item for AirPort displays signal strength for all available wireless networks so you can choose the strongest possible connection. Snow Leopard has native support for connecting with Exchange. No need for Entourage. This last is not an issue for me but I know a number of people who will be pleased with this. Thanks to Tony Bradley for supplying this overview.
