 Leopard is the best OS there has ever been!!! October 30, 2007

I installed it without a hitch. It doesn't like third party hacks but other than that it's great. Quicklook, time machine, cover flow, stacks, the new front row, and the new mail all work perfectly for me. I'm not a MS hater but this makes Vista look silly. It's simply leagues beyond it! It's really too bad people are having installation problems. It installed great on my and my mom's computers. Everything's been working without a hitch. For some the new features may not seem like a giant leap from Tiger but if you compare it to the XP to Vista upgrade, the Leopard upgrade is huge!
 Horrible poorly conceived product October 30, 2007

Leopard, Apples new operating system for the Mac platform is a terrible waste of time and money unless you own an Intel Mac. On a G5 desktop it is full of bugs and crashes constantly. Worst product ever from Apple. Do not buy this if your Mac is not Intel. My machine is now in shambles and Apple's tech support is terrible. Buyer beware!!
Purchase through Amazon NOT Apple! October 30, 2007

Not only is Amazon's price $20 less... but from years of experience with Amazon they will get it to you much more quickly (unless of course you pick it up in person). I say this because even though I was told by Apple that I should have already received Leopard... according to FedEx (which I paid $10 for) I will not receive it until this Thursday! And it's being sent from Pennsylvania though I live in California!!! Buy it from Amazon... do yourself a favor. I know from now on I certainly will.
A great new polish on the already amazing OS October 30, 2007

Mac OS X Leopard isn't anything new. There aren't any mind-blowing features or earth-shattering new applications. However, it is still an amazing piece of software which makes the OS X system work even better, look even nicer, and creates an overall more user-friendly environment.
10.5, like all of the OS X updates, adds another coat of turtle wax and polish to the Mac platform. The new Dock, Menu Bar, and Finder come together to create a seamless system which works around the user to make browsing fun. Taking notes from iTunes, the new Finder implements its own version of Coverflow to allow easy viewing of pictures, notes, documents, and other visually-based files.
There are plenty of other features that Leopard has, such as Stacks, the critically-acclaimed Time Machine, and the new iChat, but the basic idea is this - if you enjoyed what Tiger had to offer, Leopard will give you new features and an overall smoother interface.
Yes - yes, and Yes! October 30, 2007

A few questions keep coming up - here are my answers:
Is the new OS easy to install? Yes! I did the in place install, left the DVD in my Mac Mini for 1 hr 15 min.
and when I came back, Leopard was running my machine. Could not have been easier. All my applications where I left them, email accounts now safely installed in the new Mail software.
Did all my applications work after the upgrade? Yes!
With one notable exception. Extensis Suitcase Fusion generated some system issues when I launched Photoshop CS3 - turning Suitcase off resolved the problem.
Was the upgrade worth the expense? Yes!
I've already started seeing the payoff in the dock - Stacks work beautifully for getting rid of the clutter in my Dock - the upgrades to Spotlight are nothing short of amazing - it took my Mac about 6 hours to sort through the 6 terabytes of memory - an now everything is instantly searchable - the 'coverflow' view makes searching for files a pleasure, and the ability to preview items without opening their applications is a stroke of genius. And in spaces, I now have dedicated graphics and audio recording workstations to retreat to.
I find that Leopard multitasks better, operates my Mac Mini smoothly and without hiccups, and so far has been utterly stable. No crashes in three days of use!
I couldn't be happier with this new OS. Bravo Apple!
