iMacs, for the uninitiated, use laptop CPU's. That's why they are so thin. Full-size HD though.

I've been running Leopard on my MacBook Pro since release day, no problems here, and it gave my older Mac a little speed boost! I do wish Time Machine would back up to any network shares, instead of just Mac ones.

Leopard is the best MacOS ever. I've used them all.

No, there is a terminal "hack" that lets Time Machine see unsupported drives, but I wont trust my backup to anything that may be unsupported.

Not a single problem absolutely love leopard. I was skeptical coming from tiger. But it literally blows leopard out of the water.

You had to use a Mac at work?

Wow, I haven't heard good news like this in over 15 years!

Leopard is quite nice, especially Spaces and Time Machine which have been life savers for me, since I constantly work with multiple windows. My G4 does run a little slower though, but not enough to cry about it.

pcmag seems to like the 10.5.2 update. a lot. Apple OS X 10.5.2 (Leopard) - Reviews by PC Magazine

my favorite features are the small ones - quicklook, the mosaic screensaver, and the dedicated downloads folder (though i made my own in every past version).

i do not like the removal of the bluetooth phone pairing w/address book that allowed you to send text messages from your phone via your computer...there's a company that sells a hack to enable this, but i don't know why apple removed it. still, 10.5.2 fixed a lot of silly things that apple got wrong in the original release.
