"This is something I never thought I'd hear myself say - or maybe I should say, see myself type - about an Apple operating system: Mac OSX Leopard was released before it was ready. This operating system needed more testing on more systems with more hardware, and especially, more software configurations. The days of Apple computers operating with just the Mac OS and Adobe Photoshop installed, and practically nothing else to speak of, are long gone, and Apple knows this as well as anyone. This operating system was not properly beta tested, and Apple's customers are paying for it, with lost productivity and inoperative computers."

Two of my managers at work went out and installed Leopard on their laptops as soon as it was released. Mind you, they use these laptops every day for work, and didn't think twice about introducing a new operating system into our production environment.
Suddenly, though, whenever they mount afp volumes from an OS X server, the permissions are ignored. Never mind that they are part of the office group, and that the office group has read/write permissions on the files and directories.. They're just no longer able to write to those files any more. Even better, though, is the fact that it now takes 20 seconds to pull a 1 meg file to their laptops (on a 100 Mbit/s LAN) through AFP/Finder.
Well, I'm certainly not impressed with Leopard. I'm even less impressed with my managers :-)
