I think it's an OS update that's got many small improvements in it rather than earth-shattering changes. Some of the changes were rather unwarranted (like the translucent menu bar), but overall I like Leopard. I've begun using stuff like Quick Look on a daily basis, haven't really gotten into Spaces yet. Wish it'd allow the user to open a new window of an app that's already open without switching back to the original Space. I've encountered a lot more glitches in Leopard than I did when Tiger first came out and the dreaded beach ball comes up more often, but hopefully now that Cocktail is Leopard-ready, things will begin to look up with some maintenance.

I agree it’s a great upgrade to the mac operating system. It’s good to hear about the stability, for me it’s hard to judge objectively as I’m not comparing like with like because of the move onto the macbook pro at the same time – same with the speed can’t comment as haven’t used Tiger on the macbook pro and I’m all ooo as it is about the hardware upgrade speed.

I do like finder, beyond not really being ‘into’ Coverflow. As said, I like the look it’s just not being used most of the time for me. I think like spaces though it is a grower.

The overall feeling I get is thumbs up towards Leopard and loving what I am experiencing.

for me i cant speak highly enough about this release. it’s stability is unreal, spaces rocks, the finder is far superb, mail & ical are finally where they should be, coverflow and quickview i have found myself really utilizing more and more. so in short… i LOVE it!
peace.
