For anyone waiting to see how the early adopters do, I went to the Mac OSX Leopard Release at the Apple Store in San Francisco and bought myself a Family Pack. I’m happy to report that Leopard upgrade was successful on 3 different computers now.

  • 1 Macbook Pro
  • 1 Ibook G4
  • 1 Imac G4

Very stable on all 3, and it seems faster to me. Maybe this is just the "fresh install" effect though.Important software that I can say works without any compatibility issues:

  • Quicksilver
  • Microsoft Office
  • Cisco VPN
  • Firefox
  • Camino
  • Adium
  • smc fan control

My key "wow" features:

  1. Spaces kicks ass. This was my biggest reason for upgrading.
  2. Mail 3.0 support "todo list" that are stored on the IMAP server, so I can access them from anywhere.
  3. Safari 3.0 has the coolest "find" feature I’ve ever seen in a browser.
