Rating: - What a waste of money!!
There was really no purpose to upgrade, all it did was use up hard drive space. I am a mac lover so don't get me wrong but it doesn't do anything different or extra to my machine. I can't say that I've used anything differently than before I had leopard.
Rating: - Get it. The handwriting is on the wall.
If you plan to continue upgrading your Mac's applications, you will NEED to have this as most new upgrades will require Leopard. Yes, it does take about 90 minutes to install, but you don't have to sit there and stare at it doing so. Go out for coffee.
Far less hassle than installing a Windows upgrade. No problems or issues whatsoever with the installation. If you have an older iMac with low RAM, be sure to get a RAM upgrade (I would suggest at least 1gb) before installing this.
The interface is a bit prettier, and I haven't used its new features yet. The transition should be minimal for you if you are currently using Tiger.
Rating: - Great version with great new features. Time Machine is awesome!!!
Installation is really simple and went off without a hitch. I love Time Machine, now I don't have to worry about when I last backed up. I just deleted something off my desktop and realized that I still needed it. Clicked on the Time Machine Icon, went back one hour, clicked on the item and restored that item back to the desktop. Works just like it is supposed to. Other great stuff as well, but I would have to write a book.
Rating: - Back up to 5 stars
UPDATE-----------------------------------------------------------
The Apple issued service packs have essentially eliminated all of the problems with Leopard. While I am disappointed that there were so many bugs at the time of release, Apple seems to have the worst of it behind them.
I have been a big Mac fan (not to be confused with the hamburger) for nearly a year. All Apple products have run smooth and installation has been effortless.... and then along comes Leopard. I am very surprised at the number of positive reviews after my recent experiences... my highlights and low-lights after 4 days.
- Internet connectivity - I am "dropped" offline on regular occurrences. At first I thought it was our modem/router until I reset both of them only to still be offline. The only thing that worked... restarting my Mac. Maybe it is a coincidence but the this began happening the day I loaded Leopard.
- Memory HOG! I am not sure where it *went* but I now have an additional 20 gigs of hard-drive that is being occupied!
- Not so plug-and-play. I have a Logitech Harmony al-in-one remote ... it works with all previous versions of Mac o/s... but it will not recognize leopard during the set-up. I wonder how many other devices will have this problem?
- Random freezing. Seriously, this is why we dumped our PC! We were looking for a more stable operating system. I wouldn't compare it to the nightmare that is known as Vista... but Windows XP has an edge over Leopard.
- The added features are nice- Time Machine makes backing up a cinch..... but is it worth it? You also get a much clearer picture when you Ichat... too bad the internet connectivity problems reduce our ability to Ichat.
As a whole....I would like to remove Leopard and wait until a service pack comes out to reinstall it. My recommendation - Hold-off.
