Molly is on Panther! Even without the memory upgrade, startup is noticeably faster. Loading applications and toggling the dock is not as sluggish on my memory-challenged machine, confirming that Panther is a much more efficient and lighter OS.
My favourite feature so far is 'Expose'. It allows you to unclutter your desktop at the touch of a button, something Windows is still struggling with. One key fits all active windows into one screen, allowing you to see what you're working on and choose which screen to go to. Another key darkens the background, highlighting which window is active. Nothing high-tech, but definitely useful.
For shared machines, Panther allows you to suspend your session and switch users. When this happens, the display turns into a cube and rotates itself. Cute!
I haven't had a chance to fully explore Panther. Molly's memory upgrade is postponed for a wee bit longer, but even without this, I can see how Panther is a seriously cool upgrade!
