I like the Leopard, and I have shared it with family members who also have a MAC. They agree that it is easy to use. The only thing I had to do...that I'm aware of ... is update RealPlayer. But that was very easy. This has some interesting ways of reminding me of things, and there are still some things I can't find. But I'm a slow learner, and I have to get with my "tutor" to be able to upgrade my brain. But so far, I have not found anything I don't like about it.
Prompt and perfect OS X!
Much needed OS X update works beautifully on my "ancient" G4 Mac. Thank you for being so prompt!
A Disaster for "Power-PC" Macs.
This OS is nice and well enough designed for Intel processor machines, but for "Power-PC" processor Macs, it's a debacle. I have one of the last of the G5 iMacs (20") and it never crashed at all with Mac OS 10.4. But with 10.5, IT WILL CRASH EVERY SINGLE TIME I use iTunes. Sometimes it crashes when I'm using iTunes, and sometimes it will crash after I use that program and quit the application. It doesn't seem to matter what I do. And yes, this is a legal, registered version of the OS. And yes, I have re-installed it twice, all to no effect. Apple has some serious work to do to make this latest OS viable for their not-too-distant machines. I hear they are completely giving up on their G-Series machines with OS 10.6, so if you have 10.4, hold ... Read More
Don't Buy Family Pack
Only ONE single DVD install disc comes in the family pack (for 5 users). You cannot create duplicate install discs for each user - any copies created look/verify as perfect but are not bootable, so cannot be used for emergencies. Not good a good buy for families with busy, independent teens who need their own install disc!
Good follow-up to Tiger
Network-based spotlight, simpler and better automound + sharing, and built-in spaces make this a worth-while update. I made the full jump with an intel book and Tiger and haven't looked back.
