[QUOTE="opus_az, post: 517261, member: 23566"] So far so good. [LIST] [*]Spaces comes in handy for my Parallels WinXP. [*]I'm 50/50 on the 3D dock, I don't mind it on a larger monitor but on a MacBook it's too distracting. [*]I'm more like 25/75 on the translucent menu bar. It's an even greater distraction on the MacBook, and I really don't understand what the advantage is suppose to be, even on larger displays. It seems like tacked on eye candy to me. I'm looking forward to a hack or an update to toggle it on and off (so far there's no fast easy and reliable hack or kludge). [*]There's some bugs in the wifi. For me I can only see the wifi network I'm currently connected to, not all available networks. I have to through the Assist Me diagnostics to see the other networks and join them. [*]Bummed that Leopard broke PithHelmet, and on a related note I'm noticing that Safari needs to have pages refreshed sometimes before it can finish displaying a page for the first time. [*]Also bummed that Leopard broke SleepDisplay. I use that a lot on my iMac. [*]Amazed at how easy it was to upgrade. Start the process, go for a walk, and the Leopard desktop is there waiting for you. Not like Windows that stops mid way through asking you silly questions that easily could have been asked at the beginning. [*]There's other bugs in networking and I hear there's issues with Adobe products and Leopard, so office stations will probably want to wait. [*]The DVD Player can sense degraded disks and skip over damaged parts. On one disk this worked find but on another it kept telling me it was skipping over bad parts (with white text up in the top left corner of the screen) but it never did and never needed to. That was distracting.
