The Unofficial Apple Web Blog on OS-X.5 Upgrade

http://www.tuaw.com/2007/10/29/leopard-should-you-upgrade

These are the highlights from the article

If you have only one computer and it’s your production machine, don’t upgrade.

If you work with Adobe software and need your software to work reliably, don’t upgrade.

If you work with Windows, don’t upgrade.

If you have a lot of system customizations, don’t upgrade.

And these are a couple of the comments

1. This was exactly the post I was looking for but hadn’t seen yet – being on a production/Adobe CS3 machine, and yet wanting to upgrade. Cheers!

17. I have Leopard… and the only good thing I can say is that Front Row looks and works better, and Alex (the new voice) sounds great.

Spaces… well, I’m mainly a Linux geek. I have four “Desktops” in KDE, each with seperate wallpaper to keep them distinquished. If something needs your attention and you’re on a different desktop, tough cookies.

On Leopard, you have a bug with Screen: If a window needs your attention, Leopard will switch to the first space. Doesn’t matter if the window’s in #3, it’ll auto-switch to #1. Gee, that’s nice.

There’s alot of other small nitpicky things Apple could of done. An option for turning off menu translucency. More dock options (I have mine on the bottom and to the left, and you know about the glassy effect). Oh, and if you try to network browse in CoverFlow, it shows Linux SMB servers as blue-screened Windows boxes. It! Could! Be! So! Much! More!
