Rating:  - Nightmare 10.5
Basically beware. You WILL have to do a complete clean install. Once you do so, many applications that formally worked fine, will no longer. Some will not even work with the new system. Many apps will need to you re-install, others will ask you again for serial numbers and activations. Make sure you have all those numbers handy. Sorry for those who have "borrowed" applications, chances are, you'll never be able to use them again.

Rating:  - Needs more kinks worked out
Leopard still has a number of bugs which can be limiting in its use compared to the very stable and bug free 10.4. Wish I had waited. So frustrating to go from trouble free to a number of issues which limit my computer use and are difficult if not possible at this time to resolve with Apple.
Rating:  - Great OS (though X11 is messed up)
Like Tiger before it, Leopard is worth every penny. Time machine works seamlessly (if you don't make the same mistake I did and use a LaCie drive for backup - it will fail sooner rather than later). Most new features are excellent. Unfortunately, the new X11 that ships with Leopard is badly messed up (at least when I installed it a while ago). Luckily, you can download the latest build from http://xquartz.macosforge.org is you need to use X11 professionally. Overall, Leopard is great and worth the upgrade!

Rating: - Finder windows problems
My work requires me to set up folders that hold hundreds and sometimes thousands of archived files. Therefore, I always use the simple list mode to scroll up and down in a narrow Finder window and open folders in the same window and without the need to having a sidebar, I never used the sidebar before anyway. something which worked great with Tiger.
When I upgraded to Leopard I couldn't have the simple list Finder window anymore. I found that in order to do that, I need to get a rid of the sidebar by ... Read More
