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."

Lucky for you... Leopard wont even install on my 15" Powerbook G4... keeps crashing to the "You need to restart your computer" screen. =\


If you're using cheap third party RAM, you might consider something more stable.

It's a mixed bag. I installed it on my 15.2 inch PowerBook G4 only to see performance drop in a big way, while Intel-based machines have seen the opposite.

I re-formatted the drive last night and re-installed and the performance drop is even more significant for some reason.

It's a good operating system, but Apple often targets things they want, things that have little meaning to consumers. I don't use Dashboard Widgets or Exposé but they certainly garner attention because of their visuals.
