Today, Apple is unleashing Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard onto the world. It's already available to people in Australia and New Zealand (you liking it, Kaiwai?), and Europe and the US will follow later today. There's an article on what's new for Ruby developers, while others want to figure out what Leopard means to the 'enterprise' (I love those silly business terms). Update by AS: My copy of Leopard was slated for a 10AM delivery, but didn't arrive. I called FedEx and a CSR told me that an internal memo was just released; Apple has apparently waved the shipping deadline for all packages today and requested delivery be rescheduled at the end of the business day. Update 2 by AS: Ok, we've received our copy. How about you other US'ers?

1. Agree with Icons. Can't wait till CandyBar 3 is out and I can get Agua on there.
2. Wallpaper can be changed. They changed it from the default Blue, so at least it does show a shift in direction at Apple.
3. I've never understood Coverflow either, but it's very easy to never use, so fine-by-me. More file previews will come as companies update and add Leopard file-filters. Apple have done the grunt work thus far and I suspect the independent macshops will jump upon this feature right away.
4. Stacks seems like the fail-feature. It's not very OS-like. No doubt this was Steve Jobs' idea, you can almost always spot his personal ideas because he knows what he likes when he sees it, but has just no idea about good new features himself. The dock will be a contention point for years to come - this is the Mac after all, we have wars over the most trivial UI things. Whole articles are written on scrollbars. I'm willing to just ride it through and see how I feel in six months time.
