Those of us with macs here have been installing Leopard and so far it's "right as rain"..whatever that means.
Honestly, I know apple are trying to swoon over the windows crowd with these whiz-bang effects in the operating system but I find they're usually just ugly, time wasting, or just god damn frustrating all together. If you've tried being productive with the Dock magnification effects you may know what I'm talking about. Anybody that isn't a soccer mom turns that shit off right away.
That brings us to ol' leopard though. I won't spout off my opinion as fact like so many apple bloggers that should be SHOT through their black horn rimmed glasses, but I'll list em off..good and bad.
-The new dock is ugly. A 3d shelf? Really? When it's shrunk down to the size most of my graphics brethren have it, it's REDICULOUSLY ugly. Luckily apple included a much simpler, more tasteful dock. THAT ISN'T EVEN IN THE DOCK OPTIONS - THANKS APPLE. If you're not a fan of the terminal, then download this simple app and you can easily switch between the two. It's identical to the way the dock looks when you stick it on the left or right of your screen. Anyways, much better.
-It's faster
-All the new default folder/system icons are bland as hell. I know, minor complaint since I change em anyways - but I just don't see how some of this stuff comes out of apple like this.
-ichat has a lot of improvements, but since I don't usually do tabbed chatting, online invisiblity, or video chat (with possible R2-D2 star wars effects like a douche?) it's pretty much the same for me.
- I don't like stacks in the dock for several reasons. If you haven't tried leopard I know you have no idea what I'm talking about.
-and Flash still works thank christ.
anyways, if any of you installed it feel free to...say something useful here. OR something.
oh by the way, go look at BOB'S DESKTOP and by all means speak your mind because it's ruining my day.
