 Great overall. Careful...not compatable with some older apps...yet November 29, 2007

Time machine backs up my macbook pro without me even thinking about it. Lo and behold...I actually needed to find a file I accidentally deleted and works as advertised.
In the finder, quickview and coverflow are much more practical than I expected...more than eye candy. Great for sorting through images, and GREAT for figuring out what version of a doc I'm looking at. Coverflow may take a while to generate previews, especially if looking at video files. Not a big deal.
DVD player has better controls and a very practical scene thumbnail browser when you move pointer to the top of the screen.
Some of my apps, like system tweakers such as Onyx and Maintenance, or open source apps like Gimp, doesn't seem to work, which may be a drag if I used them more frequently. Again, not a big deal for me, but make sure your key apps are Leopard compatable or have upgrades available before installing.
Over all, a great upgrade. The features I first thought to be gimmicks actually enhanced my productivity quite a bit.
 OS upgrade worthy of my money November 29, 2007

I have installed Leopard on 2 MacBook Pro Core Duos, 1 Core Duo iMac, 1 G4 1.25 single proc Tower and bought a new MacBook with it preinstalled.
I have done both upgrade installs and fresh ones. Both methods worked flawlessly. I enjoyed using SuperDuper to clone my existing drive to an external then doing a clean install of Leopard and transfering my user info and applications. (Take notes M$!)
I can say that it performs just as well on all of these machines as long as you have 1 gig or more of RAM. I had 512 on the G4 and the iMac and I noticed a performance boost once I went to 1+gig of RAM.
I find Leopard to be more stable than Tiger and by that I mean I am seeing WAY fewer spinning beachballs of doom and the few that I have seen have been cleared by a force quit. I found that force quit was not always successful in Tiger.
I have not yet worked with all of the new features such as Time Machine, but from what I've seen so far in stability improvements, the Family Pack has already paid for itself.
My fav features are Spaces (linux has had this for years), QuickView and it's ability to EASILY talk to Windows shares. Before I had to run a script to map Windows shares and now I can simply browse them by storing my authentication info in Keychain.

It worked flawlessly in 3 of my computers. It did not work on the 4th which was a 2003 Mac G4. Its speed was below the minimum speed required for Leopard. I knew about this before purchasing, so no problem for me. However, this information was not on the box.

Probably I won't be original in my comments at all...
I was an "all times Windows user/supporter" but after suffering Vista for a while, I decided to buy a MacBook (4 months ago), full of "fears"... but I have to tell that I found a whole new World... performance, GUI, applications, and general easy of use... then Leopard came in and this new World became close to the "Cosmos" definition.
Just using the TIME MACHINE application that comes OOB with Leopard pays far the price for the investment.
If you're running on Tiger, not decided yet to move it forward, go ahead, no doubt!!!
If you're running on Windows (any), go ahead, give Apple a try not just with the iPhone or some of the iPods...

I bought the family pack and installed Leopard on my iMac PPC & intel MacBook. Both installations work flawlessly. I have had no problems, I upgraded to 10.5.1 through Apple software update and that fixed original problems. I highly recommend it and after all this time it still blows me away.
