So, for those who don't like Leopard, why not? And for those who do, what do you like best??

Also, Leopard doesn't play well with Helvetica Neue.

First they made iPhoto an essential upgrade (IMO: never used it previously, now I love it), then they made the iPhoto collection available to ALL apps (not just Apple apps!!!). Try it with yer MS Word, for example (insert image from file).

FWIW: no trouble upgrading from Tiger.

My machine is to old for much of the eye candy and I have not had a lot of time to play. I got it for Christmas. I do know that Photoshop 7 does not work.. My display says it loses signal on Front Row. Could it be my KVM switch?

No hurry on put on the wife's iMac. If I do I would take it off mine. Still learning the pros and cons.

Turned off screensaver in the Front Row settings and it works now. I have a lot to learn with new software and old hardware.

I think screen sharing is worth every penny. It makes it easy to update various machines around the house.

I alternately hate it and love it. I was one of those who lost permissions when I installed it. I did the upgrade, not archive etc. Fixing that took a couple days.
All my apps so far are working with it.

Problem: I am asked for my password every time I go on line (and I have to go off because I only have one phone line). I've looked everywhere i can think of and can't figure out how to change this. Also much slower dialing up.

Problem: Doesn't play nice with the caller ID. I liked having that message pop up whenever a phone call came in while i was on line.

Problem —minor: I have to use one of the Macs dinky sounds for my mail app, because my usual sounds don't seem to work.

Problem: not sure if this is leopard, but it's new since I installed it—ethernet connection to Tiger on another machine doesn't seem to work. Can't get the machines to see each other. This is a biggie. I have a workaround but it involves using the laptop between my two desktops. Not good.

Benefit—Starting to get used to cover flow and quick look, finding that useful.

No opinion on stacks, i don't seem to be using it.

I'm expecting to get a lot more use out of spaces.

My recommendation: If you have a recent machine and are not planning to get a newer one soon, you might want to consider getting a copy. But keep tiger available.

I miss DiskWarrior & SuperDuper, neither of which is yet supported in Leopard.

I didn't make the statement lightly.
My family and i have had over 25 Macs since we started out with a LC.
The first computer I upgrade to 10.5 was my 17" power book.
It booted with user "other" spent 6 hours on the phone with Apple Care to get it fixed.
then the same day Apple came out with the Keychain update. That broke Airport card on the computer, a couple more hours to fix.
Second computer was my daughters Macbook. The upgrade deleted the directory on the hard drive so I had to rstore that one.
Upgrade on the G5 caused permissions problems.
Apple ended replacing my 17" Powerbook with a Macbook Pro because they had made several attempts to repair the hinge and screws that kept falling out.

The new Macbook pro came with 10.4 installed on it and a 10.5 upgrade disk.
After the previous experiences I did a clean install of 10.5 then migrated everthing from a backup I had.
This install screwed up all permissions and made all my files read only. I fixed that but now if I run permissions it immediately give me an error.
Final straw is if I try to do any updates they fail to install.
Applecare says at this point i Need to archive and reinstall 10.5.

Found another one. My Epson Photo 820 print driver doesn't work properly with Leopard. I have to boot from me Tiger external firewire drive in order to use the full features of the driver.

Wow! I'm not getting any warm and fuzzies about Leopard here. I haven't touched it yet, and I think I'm glad that I didn't...

Came here to say this.
