Absolute Gadget

While Apple's latest iteration of its reassuringly expensive operating system OS X is out, Absolute Gadget gives you the low down on what will be the seven best new features of the new OS that should give Windows 7 a run for its money.

No.1 - Exchange support

While out of the box Windows can't connect to an Exchange server (because it needs Office and Outlook to do that), the Snow Leopard OS X can. Not long after the iPhone offered Exchange integration last year, the Mac can now be set up to send and receive emails using the OS's Mail application.

Not only that, it can read Exchange contact, and access calendars and task through iCal. You can even schedule those important meetings in meeting room 3A (which looks surprisingly like the pub next door).
