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.
