Mac OS X Apple appears to be accelerating seeds of Mac OS X Leopard to developers. After only 5 days since the last seed (9A500n), Apple has issued a new version of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard to developers. The latest seed is listed at build 9A527 (client) and 9A528a (server), and reportedly list a number of less significant 'known issues' compared to prior seeds.

It's better but it's different.

If you don't like change, it's going to bother you.

If you own an Intel-based Apple machine you're going to love it because it finally taps the performance that's been hidden for so long.

Good question I have - whats the performance like on the x86? for me, I'm looking at upgrading my laptop at the beginning of next year - most likely a Macbook Pro next year.

Just wondering what is the performance boost like? are they using the LLVM compiler? Lots of questions - I'm wondering just how close to completion it is; I hope that Apple holds back and takes their time with the release - get it really stable so that there isn't the 'I'll wait for 10.5.1' issue.

With that being said, a Mac loaded with 10.5 plus iWork '08 will be awesome.
