 - No problems, easy installation.This is a fine product. I had no trouble upgrading several different kinds of Macs. This is convenient and worth the price. In particular, I like the simple method of registering the OS without keeping up with installation codes or special media. Rating:  - Good LeopardI found Leopard a little tricky to install on my g4. Othere than that, the product has been good. Rating: - Nice upgrade from Tiger - few bugs thoughI did an upgrade from Tiger to Leopard without reformatting my drive. Though that's not always the most efficient way of doing things, everything went very smooth. The bugs I'm experiencing are specific to applications. If you are an InDesign CS3 user, be ready for some hang ups and crashes. Adobe and Apple are still working on this issue. Though there is one workaround for the ID CS3 crashes that has worked for me through research on this issue. Every time you open ID, just create a new blank document - then go about your business opening an existing file, etc. That seems to work for me - haven't had a crash since I started doing the "new blank document" trick. The only other bug I ran across is using my Epson Perfection 3200 Scanner through Photoshop CS3. It hangs up the first time - but when if I force quit Photoshop, and reopen it and perform the same task - all works fine. Other than that, I really enjoy all the new features of Leopard. Rating: - A Good As ExpectedI( was very happy with the previous version, and this is even better, esp. with Time Machine! Rating:  - Slick, but....There are a lot of gushing reviews on this new OS, and why not? Leopard is the smartest OS I've ever used, and the prettiest. But if you're wondering how much this OS is really going to cost you, take a deep breath. The upgrades I need to get my essential software running on this OS total more than $2000, and that's more than I can afford (and more than the price of the most expensive iMac). For example, my older Adobe package won't run on 10.5, and the upgrade is over $1300. In fact, the only older software I've found that does run on Leopard is Appleworks 6 and a few shareware programs. Now how is it that an old Claris software program can still work without a hitch and nothing else does? Apple and its software providers need to rethink their marketing strategy. I, for one, am not made of money.
