 AMAZING!!!! February 8, 2008
I've installed Leopard on 2 Macs we have here at the house and will be installing it on an older iBook G4 pretty soon. The iBook is about 3-4 years old and I've made no improvements to it... And according to the specs - it will work. And (unlike Vista) no upgrades necessary and I don't need the top of the line anything to upgrade. Its just simply a well designed OS that works well for so many different uses. Love it!
is it worth it?? February 8, 2008
since the felines (tiger / jaguar) were all great I upgraded... I am not sure I needed to do so. Still stable... am awaiting to get time capsule to use the the back up system. that is the main impetus in getting leopard for me.
An excellent OS, but buy "Missing Manual" by Pogue February 8, 2008

I am very impressed by the new OS from Apple, and it far exceeds my expectations. I upgraded largely to ensure the best compatibility with new third party applications, but there are many great features here in mail, iCal, security, multi-tasking, and so on.
I have two tips:
1 - Buy "The Missing Manual" by David Pogue Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual [NYT Columnist, some say humorist, and Mac geek]. His book helped me understand how to get the most out of this OS which would have taken too much time otherwise.
2 - When upgrading do a completely erase and install. Of coarse back up your data first on an external HD or in the cloud with Jungle Disk.
Enjoy.
 Mac OS X Leopard -- delivered to the WRONG address!! January 27, 2008
0 out of 14 found this review helpful
Amazon really messed up this order. I accidentally gave them the wrong delivery address in Del Mar, CA instead of Corona Del Mar, CA, but I sent them emails immediately to make a correction. Got no response, so I sent a msg asking them to call me immediately, which they did -- 3 times. On one phone call, I got a lady on the phone, gave her the correct address, and she put me on hold for 15 minutes, then I got disconnected. I gave up because I was told repeatedly (and it says this also on the website) that if it is delivered to the wrong address, don't worry, it will be returned. I just have the inconvenience of ordering again. No big deal. But this didn't happen. They delivered it to the wrong address -- it was not returned, and now I have informed my credit card company that I will not pay the bill. Huge mess that could've been avoided. I really tried.

Leopards are great but I still like Tigers January 24, 2008
I would have given this 5 stars primarily because I'm a Mac bigot but have to say that Tiger proved to be more stable and not as finicky. Granted, the cool new apps and features are really awesome but I've had to reinstall Leopard 3 times and considering a 4th because of performance issues. I see many more crashes than I did in Tiger because I have had so many problems, I'm hesitating installing Leopard on the rest of my Mac's. There are lots of dramatic changes to the file structures, specifically with regard to iCal and some of the others but when I used Backup to archive my files, upon restoring them iCal couldn't see my calendar data so I had to manually go in and re-add them to iCal.
My personal .02 cents and for what its worth, I feel that Apple's shift to Intel processors, while performance is much quicker and perhaps cheaper to build, has cost them in performance. I know that my PowerBook G4 1.5GHz was vastly more stable than my MacBook Pro 2.33GHz but again, it may be the difference between Tiger and Leopard but I just don't know for sure until I load Leopard on my wife's iMac G5.
