As an apple user, I'm not really impressed by Leopard yet. While a few of the new features are nice, I wouldn't be taking advantage of them and can't really justify the upgrade. Then again, if apple has secretly set an expiration date for BootCamp, I guess the upgrade will be inevitable... Spaces is nice, but it isn't new. The functionality however is what I'm looking to get my hands on. I want to see how well spaces can be messed around with, customized... all that good stuff.Time Machine is very pretty, but personally, I never used System Restore in Windows. I can't begin to imagine to hard drive storage requirements for maintaining this... THAT GOES TO SAY... it's not a terrible idea...As for iChat and the rest... stationary is cute, but video chat in the current iChat hardly works. I can't imagine it working anymore w/ 5x as much data to push. UNO does a great job of unifying the OS to the new leopard look for free. If I'm missing something I should be excited about, someone please tell me.And honestly people... I thought we were all past the whole MS steals from Apple vice versa toss up? I mean, who cares... what results is a great experience for all end users, regardless of platform. Meh. Loyalists.. who needs em.
i am sick of all of this apple stuff i am now labeling them all spam becasue it really is just ads for the company saying how great apple is then trashing all other comapnies. Join me if you agree.
Personally, I'm just glad both companies now have competing operating systems that are 'sort of' on par with each other. Its only good for all of us who use either system.And a quick message to Apple, you all better improve your developer tools and language supprt. .NET blows you clean outta the water.

It may well be a bit GoBack'ish, but that's not a bad thing, it was a pretty neat piece of software.
