 Beautiful OS - A great upgrade! June 30, 2008

OS X Leopard is a great upgrade from Tiger and certainly is the world's best operating system. With the 10.5.1 update, the OS is very stable and well worth the upgrade price. I am very happy with the improvements.
Apple leopard 10.5 +++ June 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was running 10.3.9 on my g-4 Powerbook 1.25. The computer began to crash when accessing some sites on the internet. Some web sites that I had been using, just stopped loading at all. I had concerns of going to the newer 10.5 Leopard due to its size and slowing the computer. I cannot tell it slows the computer down, if it does. It takes a little longer to start up.
I will say I am very pleased with the improvements. I wish I had changed to the Leopard 10.5 sooner.
I will give it two thumbs up.
 Couldn't Install on my PC, Why? June 26, 2008

Ever since the end of last year, one of the baristas at the Starbucks I frequent had been going on and on about how great Leopard was on his macbook computer. He told me about all the great features like a time machine, spaces and itunes. I admit I had been using windows for years, but that I'd go ahead and give it a try, why not? Well that's when I was in for a huge surprise.
I had recently bought one of the great dell XPS Ones and figured that'd be as good a computer as any to run leopard on, after all I wanted to be fair in comparing it to vista. As soon as I inserted the leopard disc, I realized I had been duped. On the disc, I couldn't see the installer, all it had were some directories for "bootcamp utilities" or some sort. I looked all over and could not for the life of me figure out how to install the wretched thing. It took me a lot of searching on altavista but I finally took it to Best Buy and the Geek Squad was more than happy to take a look at it. After I paid them 100 dollars to diagnose the problem, they told me my XPS one wasn't compatible with leopard, something about it not being an apple platform. I was of course very dismayed, so I attempted to return this to no avail, since there are no returns on opened software.
When I got home I did more research on altavista and found out that if you want to use leopard, YOU MUST buy one of Apples' own versions of the XPS One, the imacbook line of computer machines. Never in my life as a software engineer have I seen such deceptive business practices. Why would they sell a 100 dollar piece of software to a person with the wrong computer? What kind of racket are they running? This kind of bait and switch tactic is not something I would expect from a large corporation, but with gas prices so high I guess everyone is trying to make a quick buck.
What kills me is that the imacbook computer machines looked like such blatant ripoffs of the XPS one. It looks like all they did was change the color to white and throw their logo all over it. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw dell seek legal action against apple for this type of copyright infrigement. Serves them right!
Leopar - Fantastic June 26, 2008

Leopard came standard on my new iMac that I got in May 2008. I had a problem when I installed Windows XP (my fault - I didn't follow instructions) and windows erased the whole drive and installed Windows! Just 5 minutes before I installed Windows (why waste your beautiful drive space) Time Machine (Apple's new magical back up program included with Leopard) had done a final back up automatically. So when I had restored my hard drive from the Time Machine Back Up - I HAD LOST NOTHING. What can I say? I swear by it. Use Time Machine, you will not regret it. I have since bought a Family Pack of Leopard for my old eMac and G4 iBook. It runs great on both. The iCal has also been improved as well.
Especially great for the non-technical June 24, 2008

Leopard has been a great upgrade for both my son and I, but the best thing about it is how the not-so-technical computer users in our family have made use of Leopard's new capabilities.
Time Machine has made the difference between backup regularly getting done vs. not getting done very often for my daughter. And since she uses her Mac for her photography hobby, backup is vitally important. She also likes the way spaces helps keep her desktop organized.
The Back-to-my Mac feature is my favorite. It allows me to access my home Mac or my wife's laptop from the office. This can be useful in retrieving a unexpectedly needed file or for giving a little tech support to a busy wife.
