[QUOTE="DrQuincy, post: 536589, member: 22571"] At first I really didn't like it but the more I use it the more it grows on me. The fan on my once silent MCP 17" now makes a constant hum but actually it runs cooler so maybe they did that deliberately. Generally some things run jerkier and some smoother. The dock is slightly jerky but in general I swear windows are render fractionally faster. Spaces I don't use; I have loads of apps open but it doesn't feel as nice to someone who's used to Linux virtual desktops (I like the Compiz Fusion approach better). I dislike the way the background turns plain blue. The dock is neat. I wasn't keen on stacks at first but now I have my Safari Downloads folder on the dock and it's so useful. I love the new Mail. It feels faster and is a joy to use. I like the bottom left progress bar and I'm so pleased they added notes and to do. The new menus are a real grower; I love those too. Not used Time Machine, don't need it. Coverflow looks nice but is a bit slow to buffer the images and really the column flow will always be better IMO. The new folder icons are truly awful compared to the old ones. You now have a normal hosts file like other OSs. i think they ditched NetManager. Safari new on-page search is excellent, more like Firefox. I was hoping they'd do that. Plus the 'Inspect Element' option is great for developers. iStat Nano widget is bust. Leopard changed my machine to Macintosh.local so I had to change my synergy settings. It broke Samba. Generally all the programs I use are great. A couple of crashes but nothing to write home about. Boot time is a few seconds longer. [/QUOTE]
