New cat on the block

Running Leopard (OS X 10.5 for the unconverted).

Seems much faster on a Mac Pro than Tiger was, and an easy upgrade. Only broken app so far is PGP and that doesn't really bother me.

Anyone else taking the plunge?

Sorry Paul

I'm in the hardware domain of Bill Gates (plain english (PE) 'I have a PC')

I'm not entirely sure what all your words mean but I'd be very careful running a leopard anywhere. Apparently they can be a bit 'flighty' You siound like you've already had a lucky escape with a tiger. They have big teeth like this >>

did it go well? I was going to get it for my laptop, but will leave it and will get it when(the missus lets me, so hell needs to freeze over) i get a new mac laptop, is it as cool and that as the images and reports say?

It's nice. Runs faster than 10.4 (or so it feels) on Mac Pro. Have since discovered that InDesign breaks in 10.5, so waiting for a fix, but it's the one I use least in CS3, so no great damage done.

QuickLook, Spaces, Time Machine, etc all work as advertised, and at last (since OS 9) we have Arrange By Name as a contextual menu in the Finder again!

Just got a new iPod Classic (160Gb) to complement it. Frantically ripping Peep Show and Black Books DVDs as I type!
