 - Leopar - FantasticLeopard came standard on my new iMac that I got in May 2008. I had a problem when I installed Windows XP (my fault - I didn't follow instructions) and windows erased the whole drive and installed Windows! Just 5 minutes before I installed Windows (why waste your beautiful drive space) Time Machine (Apple's new magical back up program included with Leopard) had done a final back up automatically. So when I had restored my hard drive from the Time Machine Back Up - I HAD LOST NOTHING. What can I say? I swear by it. Use Time Machine, you will not regret it. I have since bought a Family Pack of Leopard for my old eMac and G4 iBook. It runs great on both. The iCal has also been improved as well. Rating: - Especially great for the non-technicalLeopard has been a great upgrade for both my son and I, but the best thing about it is how the not-so-technical computer users in our family have made use of Leopard's new capabilities. Time Machine has made the difference between backup regularly getting done vs. not getting done very often for my daughter. And since she uses her Mac for her photography hobby, backup is vitally important. She also likes the way spaces helps keep her desktop organized. The Back-to-my Mac feature is my favorite. It allows me to access my home Mac or my wife's laptop from the office. This can be useful in retrieving a unexpectedly needed file or for giving a little tech support to a busy wife. Rating: - Great Upgrade!Very olesed with this Mac upgrade. Need to read all about Leopard though, lots of new things. Rating:  - Each version is better than the lastEach upgrade of Mac OS X improves over the last. For me, 10.5 is stabler than 10.4. I like the integration between Mail and iCal and Address Book. Being able to create event or contact from an email is easy and a real time saver. A couple of negatives. Events are harder to edit than in 10.4. Mail offers syncing with Google, so you have your contacts on your Google account as well as Address book. I've found this to create duplicate addresses and contacts - not helpful because you have to purge those from Address Book. I look forward to 10.6 and its promise of more efficiency over features. Rating: - Excelent productThis product reinforce OSX as the most reliable and functional operation system in the world.
