Software : Mac OS X Version 10.5.4 Leopard
Rating: 
- New OS Amazing
Late to the party, I wanted to make sure that Apple had ironed out the kinks in the latest OS update.
For the most part, the update works great for end-users. However, I run a mail and web server on a Mac Mini that I applied the upgrade to, and once again, all the configuration files for file sharing, Apache and Postfix were altered and no indication was given that they would have to be re-edited to work with the newer versions of the open source tools. It would be more "Apple like" of Apple to give upgraders some notice of this kind of change -- especially _before_ updating.

You can run XP, Linux, Unix, OS X all on one laptop. What's NOT to love?
Bootcamp comes with Leopard as a free addon... totally worth it!
Rating: - Necessary Upgrade
Leopard 10.5.1 navigates smoothly, yet additional memory, also was installed. The iMacG5 is not a light home PC; I was glad I did not buy a new computer.

Rating: - Everything old is new again
I purchased this product mainly out of necessity, as the current generation of Mac Pro video cards don't accept anything less than MacOSX 10.5.2. That said, I appreciated the boosts in speed and efficiency over Tiger. There have been many small changes to the UI, such as the new pop-out expansion of folders in the dock, and the addition of Spaces, which adds an extra number of desktops.
My praises aside, I'm a little disappointed in this current version. It doesn't bring much to the table. Where 10.3 brought Expose and 10.4 brought the dashboard, 10.5 brings Spaces (as I previously mentioned). Spaces is mildly useful, but a bit of a processor hog, and its position is redundant, as Expose does all the same things with simple keystrokes, and you don't have to navigate through all of your screens. Also, they dropped support for 256 colors in 10.5.3, so any games that may run in that color mode (such as Blizzard Entertainment's Diablo II and Starcraft) will no longer run.
All in all, I like the speed and efficiency boosts, but I wish that they did a little more with this installment.
