| | | Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5) drops TODAY
Probably the most anticipated version of OS X since its original release in 2000. I'm headed to my local Apple Store after work to grab it. Anyone else?

I'll report back.  |

So, what are our impressions of Leopard so far, fellow Mac users? I've been really impressed, myself.

I'm still looking forward to seeing it Rae. Unfortunately, the production applications that I'm running at work are not compatible with Leopard. In order to get the updated apps we need to renew our service contracts. Money is tight so I think it's going to be a good while before I see it at work. I could get it for my G4 at home but I'm afraid it might over tax the G4's architecture. Anyone with a G4 running Leopard?

I'll wait.
1) From reports on MacInTouch, there are security issues that need to be resolved.
2) Time Machine does not work with a disk attached to an Airport Extreme. (Though there is a reported work-around on this.)
So I'll wait for 10.5.1.

As far as I know, it's Safari-only.
(Go with OpenDNS, Scott! Its filters work across all browsers and all computers on your network. I'll help you set it up if need be! ;-))

I'm running a G4 14" iBook, and I'll be getting Leopard when I get some bucks (maybe when I visit the states this spring, Lord willing). Hearing about some of the new features, it sounds good. I generally prefer to wait a while so any bugs can be ironed out.

What it worth the $130? Was it what it was hyped up to be? I have to admit the only reason I'm not a Mac guy is they seem to love to charge for every little thing, including updates to their current OS. I find that really irritating. (Not that MS is somehow any better...)

I'd say that the $130 was well worth it. The move from Tiger to Leopard is analogous to the move from XP to Vista . . . not from XP SP1 to SP2.
Anyway, it's not flawless by any means (that will come in future bugfixes), but the new features add much functionality and usability. Definitely worth it.
