Mac OS X 10.3.5 is a very advanced operating system, blending the
power and stability of UNIX with the legendary simplicity and
ease-of-use of the Macintosh. Mac OS X version 10.3.5
"Panther" contains over 150 new features and provides
significant enhancements to its modern, UNIX-based foundation.
Panther includes iChat AV for personal video conferencing, Expose
for instantly finding any window, and a new Finder for easy access
to everything you need. It's like having an all-new Mac.
Finder. Everything you need, just a click away.
With your favorite folders, hard drive, iDisk, servers, and
removable media always located at the left of every Finder window,
you can work smarter and faster. Color-coded labels make it easy to
find and organize important files or folders.
iChat AV. Go face to face. Anyplace.
Personal video conferencing has arrived. Use iChat AV for
person-to-person conversations in high-quality, full-screen video
over the Internet. Have voice chats with crystal-clear audio. All
from anywhere in the world.
Exposé. Find the window you need. Now.
Exposé gives you instant access to any open window with a single
keystroke. Display all open windows as thumbnails, view windows of
the current application, or hide all windows to quickly locate a
file on your desktop.
FileVault. Safe, secure, and speedy.
At home and away, keep your valuable documents safe with powerful
AES-128 bit encryption. FileVault automatically encrypts and
decrypts the contents of your home directory on the fly.
Fast User Switching. Share well with others.
Share your Mac with other users quickly and painlessly. With one
click, you can switch to your desktop with all documents and
applications exactly as you left them. No need to log out from
another user's account first.
Mail. Follow the thread of any discussion.
Quickly view, file, or delete related messages with the powerful
new threaded view. See perfectly displayed HTML email, thanks to
the Safari rendering engine. Simply drag and drop to address
messages. Filter out junk mail with advanced spam filtering.
iDisk. Your online hard drive. Available offline.
Now you can access your .Mac iDisk when you're not connected to
the Internet. Just work on the copy of your iDisk on your hard
drive. Every time you connect to the Internet, all your iiDisk
files and folders synchronize automatically.
Font Book. Letter-perfect type management.
Make the most of every font you own with Font Book. Locate any font
on your system with the search function. Preview and install fonts
with just one click. Activate fonts individually or create sets to
make them available in groups.
Preview. Tear through PDFs in no time.

open PDFs as well as EPS and PostScript files. Navigate and search
text at lightning speed. Easily select and copy text or PDF
graphics. View, crop, rotate, and copy images in a wide variety of
formats.
Based on UNIX. Solid as a rock.
Beneath the intuitive interface of Mac OS X lies an open-standard,
industrial-strength, UNIX-based foundation. X11 for Mac OS X and
FreeBSD 5 commands and libraries make Mac OS X Panther the ultimate
platform for UNIX users.
Windows. Join the network.
Panther makes your Mac welcome in any Windows network. Files,
printers, and network services can easily be shared with Windows

Exchange email and sync your Address Book entries.
