Longtime mac user, 2008-02-24 As a long time mac user (who happens to use Vista all day for work), I can tell you this is a nice OS. It's a joy to use on my Mac Pro, and a definite step up from Vista. I dual boot, and with Tiger installed before, I didn't even bother booting into OS X after work. But now with 10.5.2, I boot into Leopard everyday. On my Mac Pro, 10.5.2 is polished and butter smooth, and browsing and email is a much better experience vs. Vista. Great OS, 2008-02-23 This is great value. Wanted a true 64 bit OS for my G-5 imac, It is a powerhouse, the applications open quicker and time machine is a much needed answer for a back up system for mac. Another Worthwhile Upgrade from Apple, 2008-02-17 My primary motivation for going to 10.5 is the improved Parental Controls, however I also like Spaces and File Preview. I've also noticed that File Sharing is improved, you can now browse from any Finder window to connect to another computer. The upgrade process was generally smooth - I had to delete and reinstall my printer settings and one widget no longer works, but I view these as very minor issues. If anything 10.5 seems faster on my main machine (an early 2006 iMac 20" 2GHz Core Duo with 2GB RAM) than 10.4. Overall, a worthwhile upgrade, but if 10.4 is working for you and you don't need any of the new features, don't feel rushed. If you are 10.3 or earlier, you should stongly consider 10.5. 4 of 4 customers found the following review helpful: Update-Mixed Blessings (if you currenty use Adobe PS/CS3), 2008-02-10 A happy ending to a rocky start - At long last and sooner then I had ever expected, on 2-11-2008, Apple released the 10.5.2 update for Leopard. I eagerly downloaded and installed it and was delighted to find that the CS3 issues are resolved and in fact, it seems CS3 PS and Bridge as well as other apps I am using on Leopard seem to load much faster. Some of the other quirks other users have reported like the Mac Mail app hanging or not shutting down (and that I also experienced), now appear to be fixed as well. Finally the stability that I always had in Tiger now seems consistent as well in Leopard. At this time, I'm definitely going to keep my Leopard software rather then return it. 10.5.2 Info and installation details of the update are here at this Apple link: [...] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- We've purchased our 3 Macs (Mac Pro, Mac Mini and MacBook) from Amazon and all had Tiger OS X installed. Tiger has been bug free on all of these system s with few updates or fixes ever being needed to be downloaded. I use Photoshop CS3/Mac on my Mac Pro. We just recently decided to give Leopard a go and purchased the 5 system family pack. I chose to use my Mac Pro as the first system for upgrade. Well, unfortunately and only after installing Leopard did I realize there exists some major issues using PS CS3 within the Leopard OS. There is a known issue with most all of the tools in CS3 when using Leopard and a lot of instability when entering numerical values for crop as well as many other CS3 tools. After seeing this and doing some web research, it seems that Adobe and Apple are working on a fix ASAP which will be in the next upcoming update for Leopard (referred to as 10.5.2). In fact I know only too late that Apple plans over 150 "fixes" to the existing bugs in its latest OS with the Photoshop CS3 being only one of them. My rating is less about the new features in Leopard and more due to having taken the plunge into what I thought would be a safe and stable new OS for the MAC only to find that the most often used piece of software I use almost daily, limps badly in the new OS. Shame Apple for releasing Leopard either too soon and perhaps without having fully tested it on some of the most often used software on the Mac, and CS2/CS3 on a Mac should have been a super high priority. We'll be returning our DVD of Leopard to Amazon and for the meantime, staying with good ol' stable Tiger until we see what owners are saying about the "fixed" issues, later this year. This is certainly no fault of Amazon's, but, buyers need to be aware of this issue, especially those who depend on using Adobe and other SW products on their Mac! By the way, all of our Macs were purchased from Amazon since they beat the best price out there and using our Amazon PRIME account, we got our systems either in 2 days with FREE shipping or in one case, overnight for just $3.99. If you routinely shop at Amazon and want free 2 day shipping from Amazon, Go PRIME! They have never failed us yet on an order and we do a lot of shopping there. Well done Amazon! Amazing..., 2008-02-09 Amazing product. Wished it had a few more features, but its worth the money hands down.
