Hello everyone. I just installed Leopard on my 2GHz Intel-based iMac, and I thought I'd share my *cough* impressions.
To start off, I'd like to say, this is very unlike Apple. The entire system is unstable. Most of the time, whether I'm launching an application, or opening a file, I'm just praying that the program won't "unexpectedly" crash. So far, I've had no luck with iChat. It just won't open. At first, Adium wouldn't open either, but once I upgraded to the latest beta, it would (?).
I can see, that in Safari, Apple has made some changes I've been waiting for. Scrolling up/down large pages with lots of content isn't nearly as lagged as it used to be. As well, Apple is trying to incorporate more CSS styling capabilities (like form submit buttons and drop downs). As far as Webclip... It's a cool feature... for about 5 minutes... I doubt anyone will really use it, but who knows, maybe I'm just naive...
Spaces is awesome! Virtual desktops is just an amazing useful feature, I can't get enough of it. Unfortunately, for me, it's hard to keep up with, so most of the time, I'll probably only use one desktop. But if things start to get really cluttered, I know where to turn! "All I need is Spaces."
Unfortunately, as far as the system goes, everything (generally) seems slower, and lags. The finder opens a bit more slowly, effects are often dismantled (which really gets to me), and it just doesn't have that stable feel that we all know and love while using Tiger.
So, overall, I think Leopard has some great! potential, but for now, Apple really needs to buckle down, and get to work. Because, right now, this thing is no where near ready for release. (Vista 2.0 says it all...)
So far, that's basically all I've checked, but I'll try to offer some more updates as I browse the new OS. I hope this helped you all!
