It looks cheap, the box, the spacey backgrounds, the huge logo in the packaging, the translucid bar...
I haven't used it yet, but
I'm not excited about it.

there aren't really any big new features that are worth all this hype as usual. oooo time machine...just what i want to look at the 2 million files i deleted last month. I hear the new release is only cool if you go to the Apple retail stores. Apparently if you make an appointment with the mac genius you get a free backstage pass to an Apple Hosted Orgy release party. It's supposed to be cool if yer into jerking off in front of a bunch of pretentious mac geeks.

I really don't see anything cool either, which sucks. I will eventually get this anyway, since everyone will start making programs that are best with Leopard.

Apparently in Macuser this week it says if you thought TIGER was fast on your G5 upwards, then Leotard will be even faster. Something to do with 64bit hardware thingy..
I'll let you know tomorrow Im upgrading me G5 and Macbook

Yup, I've got a PPC now and apple will eventually release an update that doesn't work for PPC anymore and then they will take all my money to upgrade to a newer piece of crap machine that runs the same relative to the system software and upgrade applications that have the same sharpen tool and layers since photoshop 1. I could switch to Linux and be free but like the rest of the sheep I will follow along blindly sipping my starbucks shopping at wal mart as apple brainwashes us into thinking they are the pioneers of technology because they have crappy customer service and re-release the same product over and over again with new shiny bling covering it and the slowest and cheapest hard drives on the market preinstalled.

I reckon time machine and spaces look pretty cool... searching looks better to.. spotlight is shite at present
- Raniator0
Yeah, there are only 300+ new features. I guess all of them are shite... your all probably right.

I wonder if they included A2DP in the final version. It's the audio over bluetooth protocol that allows you to stream sound to your stereo or headset wirelessly without being limited to expensive and airport+itunes-only airtunes.
All other systems have had it for ages, only apple delays it to push airport sales

what a moaning bunch of miserable whores

Ooh, stick you, your momma too... and your daddy.

mail and ical should be good now

A2DP has actually been working since 10.4.8, but they haven't promoted it

bloody typical.. i pop out for 20 minutes to get my cat some food, and miss my Apple delivery.... probably just as well, I'd only end up fecking about with it all afternoon when I've work to be done!

(Oct 26 07, 01:23)I don't know why, but they seem insignificant to me. Maybe because they are all smaller updates? Except for Spaces and the Dock style. I need to explore those more because they add more flexibility when it comes to organization.

Thought the main upgrade is a fully 64-bit OS, finally taking full advantage of your little intel chips; should speed everything up a bit.
The rest is window dressing, literally. Although spaces seems pretty useful.
