Mac OS X "Leopard started out with a generous share of first-version glitches, but almost all of them have now been resolved by the second of two automated updates, which brings Leopard up to version 10.5.2. Finally, Leopard is extravagantly overdressed for the jobs that it's designed to do, and its pervasive eye-candy starts out looking dazzling but soon becomes distracting. Fortunately, from the beginning, the OS started out with options that let you put it on a low-eye-sugar diet, and the latest update has even more."

I dont see a issue with Apple(or any vendor) making a OS that runs optimally on the hardware they choose, it means they can properly use SSE3 optimizations to get the best performance rather than having to rely on memory caching /prefetching so it works fast with any hardware.

If your in any doubt about OS X not being fast on other hardware I can tell you now it's simply not true(see hack*ntosh).

I think the new stuff in 10.5.2 is great, it didn't take them long at all to fix and add features which people asked for or moaned about. People like you should get over the money and hardware thing, Apple is proprietary, they can set up a business how they like with what hardware they like and one things for sure, you know your going to have to pay more for Apple stuff which is a fact, dont like it dont buy it.
