 A must have for Mac owners March 11, 2008
Absolutely wonderful. I upgraded my 4 year old G5, and it runs like brand new. I can't imagine life stuck in a Vista world......*ewwww, shutters at the thought.
 Wait till bugs are fixed March 10, 2008

There are still multiple issues within this version of the OS. I recently upgraded from Tiger and after 1 week of use I have decided to go back. Since using Leopard my productively has drop to nearly nothing because I spend most of my time trying to fix patches, or trying to figure out a work-around since I have so many problems with certain programs. Among many smaller problems I have run into the most serious issues I have with Leopard are the ones below.
Mail: wouldn't let me log onto my companies IMAP sever. Talked with Apple on this issues and no one could figure it out. They told me they have no clue and will submit the issue to the engineers.
Power Point: crashes every time, with no sign of being able to fix.
Simply put, just hang-on to your version of Tiger and wait till they fix all the issues with Leopard.
Leopard February 28, 2008
The leopard works great so far, and I've had no conflicts with anything else I have on my laptop. It's what they say it is. What else can I say?
 Upgrading is sometimes risky February 27, 2008
I bought the family pack and upgraded two Mac Minis without a problem. Upgrading the G5 killed it. I had to take it into an Apple store to fix it. The good news is they fixed it and upgraded it for free. Love the Apple store. You won't get that level of support with Windows!
Apple OS X Leopard - Vista Killer February 25, 2008
Okay, let us get this out there right away. This is a great product, it is what an operating system is suppose to be. Great Product!
Now that is over, let us talk about why I feel this way. Both my wife and I had been Microsoft product users since the days of DOS, both at home and at work. We moved to Windows 3.0 with its release in 1990 at home. Both of us still have to use Microsoft products at work. So, for 17 years we had been Microsoft groupies, buying each and every upgrade as it was released (with one exception, we did pass on Millennium OS, phew, what a stinker). But after endless security patches, updates, blue screens of death, virus attacks, freezes, glitches, etc., I had had enough. It would take me 2 to 3 hours to update the two desktops and one laptop almost each week. Enough was enough.
I made the decision to switch completely to Apple and the Mac's and have not regretted it or looked back since. Packed up all the Microsoft software and machines and donated them to a charity. Replaced everything with Apple. I had hoped that we would be able to buy with Leopard pre-installed, but when they delayed the release of Leopard, we started out on Tiger.
Purchased Leopard as a pre-release product, and had it in hand the day after it was officially released. Installation was a snap. Seriously, not one bug, not one hitch or hic-up. Now granted we had new MacBook Pro's to install to, but there was no issue with the upgrade.
The OS is beautiful to look at and play with. As the Apple ad's state, "it just works." And it does. It found our 4 year old digital camera no problem. Found our HP printer that we had running on the AirPort wireless router, no problems. Imported and updated all our bookmarks and history with Safari. It was just about as perfect of a paradigm shift from working with Microsoft as you could experience.
Frustrated with Windows, especially Vista? Tired of the endless frustrations on just keeping your computer current and working? I highly recommend leaving the darkside and coming to OS X Leopard! You will not regret it.
