Review of Mac OS X v. 10.5.1 Leopard 
2008-07-25
I like this product. I was intentionally slow in switching from Tiger because Leopard was a major upgrade, and I wanted to wait until the most important debugging had happened. There were several updates to install after I registered the system, but they were very easy, as is usual with Apple products. I have had no problems installing or operating this system. Using it is enjoyable and very intuitive.
OS X - the most beautiful OS ever. 2008-07-20
Simply put, OS X is years beyond any other current OS on the market, period. As a professional graphic designer / developer I can honestly state that OS X has more flexibility in terms of customizing the OS than any other system offered. Some may argue Linux as the ultimate mod-box, but, the problem with other OS mods is you simply will not have the quality that is inherent to the OS X experience. Apple is truly a master at taking insignificant aspects of the OS and prioritizing the way it is projected to the user. Color, depth, ease of use, virtually NO virus/spyware vulnerability, UNIX availability, etc, etc, It's all here, in one solid package. For current Windows users considering the switch - you cannot make a better decision - if you want to work on your computer and not for it - OS X is the system for you.
Best Ever 2008-07-19
Wow this is a must have .... Time Machine alone is worth the price of admission .... Tiger was good but Leopard goes beyond ....
Apple is quick to update too .... Best ever - A steal at twice the price !
Awesome. What else can possibly be said!!! 2008-07-17
I've been a mac fan and user for almost 30 years now so I'm always amazed when Steve Jobs can continue to "wow" me. This OS has the usual bells and whistles that we look forward to with each new Mac OS release, but I have to say that Time Machine alone makes this MORE than worth the money. It is absolutely brilliant. Way to go Steve!!!
You sent me a corrupted disk!

I received a corrupted disc from you. The package was sealed around the edges only. I had multiple problems with it and finally I called apple care and they told me it was corrupted. I did get a new one, but I will not order computer items from you again.

Beautiful OS - A great upgrade! 2008-06-30
OS X Leopard is a great upgrade from Tiger and certainly is the world's best operating system. With the 10.5.1 update, the OS is very stable and well worth the upgrade price. I am very happy with the improvements.
Apple leopard 10.5 +++ 2008-06-29
I was running 10.3.9 on my g-4 Powerbook 1.25. The computer began to crash when accessing some sites on the internet. Some web sites that I had been using, just stopped loading at all. I had concerns of going to the newer 10.5 Leopard due to its size and slowing the computer. I cannot tell it slows the computer down, if it does. It takes a little longer to start up.
I will say I am very pleased with the improvements. I wish I had changed to the Leopard 10.5 sooner.
I will give it two thumbs up.
Couldn't Install on my PC, Why? 
2008-06-26
Ever since the end of last year, one of the baristas at the Starbucks I frequent had been going on and on about how great Leopard was on his macbook computer. He told me about all the great features like a time machine, spaces and itunes. I admit I had been using windows for years, but that I'd go ahead and give it a try, why not? Well that's when I was in for a huge surprise.
I had recently bought one of the great dell XPS Ones and figured that'd be as good a computer as any to run leopard on, after all I wanted to be fair in comparing it to vista. As soon as I inserted the leopard disc, I realized I had been duped. On the disc, I couldn't see the installer, all it had were some directories for "bootcamp utilities" or some sort. I looked all over and could not for the life of me figure out how to install the wretched thing. It took me a lot of searching on altavista but I finally took it to Best Buy and the Geek Squad was more than happy to take a look at it. After I paid them 100 dollars to diagnose the problem, they told me my XPS one wasn't compatible with leopard, something about it not being an apple platform. I was of course very dismayed, so I attempted to return this to no avail, since there are no returns on opened software.
When I got home I did more research on altavista and found out that if you want to use leopard, YOU MUST buy one of Apples' own versions of the XPS One, the imacbook line of computer machines. Never in my life as a software engineer have I seen such deceptive business practices. Why would they sell a 100 dollar piece of software to a person with the wrong computer? What kind of racket are they running? This kind of bait and switch tactic is not something I would expect from a large corporation, but with gas prices so high I guess everyone is trying to make a quick buck.
What kills me is that the imacbook computer machines looked like such blatant ripoffs of the XPS one. It looks like all they did was change the color to white and throw their logo all over it. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw dell seek legal action against apple for this type of copyright infrigement. Serves them right!
Leopar - Fantastic 2008-06-26
Leopard came standard on my new iMac that I got in May 2008. I had a problem when I installed Windows XP (my fault - I didn't follow instructions) and windows erased the whole drive and installed Windows! Just 5 minutes before I installed Windows (why waste your beautiful drive space) Time Machine (Apple's new magical back up program included with Leopard) had done a final back up automatically. So when I had restored my hard drive from the Time Machine Back Up - I HAD LOST NOTHING. What can I say? I swear by it. Use Time Machine, you will not regret it. I have since bought a Family Pack of Leopard for my old eMac and G4 iBook. It runs great on both. The iCal has also been improved as well.
