OS X Leopard Reviews

I suggest admin make this a sticky for a couple of months, or at least a couple of weeks. And people can add their reviews here. But let's keep it strictly to reviews and questions of Leopard, and nothing else.

The New York Times
A general overview of the release by the BBC

 

Not stricktly a review as its only been installed for a few hours. So if this does not fit into the category you want please delete.

1. It arrived via TNT delivery at around 10:00am GMT, the delivery lady said it was chaos at their depo, there were 1000's of these packages at their site.

2. Instlled it in about 60 mins, the counter starts at around 2 hours and very quickly reduces.

3. Not noticing any speed up in boot time or in shutdowndown time

4. Absoloutly love Spaces, Cover Flow and Stacks. Cover flow is simply stunning.

5. Loving that finder allows me to see all my networked PC's. Even better, Cover Flow works on windows PC's when I browse them.

First impressions are excellent. Need to play around with this alot more though.

Not found anything that does not work yet.

 

I just got mine. I guess I will do it now!

 

Did you clean install it or upgrade from tiger?

 

I upgraded

 

Thanks for the info Shaggy...I am glad your upgrade went well and faster than they say it might take. Maybe all your RAM speeded things up a bit! I am envious of your machine.

 

how much space was required for the upgrade?

 

5GB i think, i belive i went from 96GB free to 94GB Free

 

5 GB or 2 GB (96-94 =2)

 

5 Gig, what i was trying to illistrate is, that post install i lost 2GB from what i had with Tiger

 

only effectively 2 gigs lost?! Sweet, i can prolly handle that loss. my hesitation was how much space it was going to take up.

 

Yep, that's what I meant

 

meh, so much to keeping this thread strictly for reviews.

 

Unfortunately, most threads lose their direction rather quickly. Just the nature of forums.

 

Yeah, its really hard to keep threads on track unless moderators start deleting irrelevant posts (which would be like half of the posts ever made )...but that would delete the purpose of a forum...

You should see the way the Mac Switcher's Guide went off topic for a while .
